TiB/FiB open compound fracture new pain after 3 weeks.
Had surgery on the 18th of last month. No pain just discomfort until 3 days ago now I have a little knot/pocket of swelling above kneecap. And sharp pain on the inside left portion of knee when I try to bend or pick up my leg. Hurts 10/10. No redness or anything the swelling is only in that one little spot and minimal.
Does this sound like normal healing? It’s brand new pain?
Should I get an Xray? Or wait till tomorrow and call ortho nurse?
They put a nail through my TiB, they went above the knee.
Thanks for any and all responses.
