I have had full body achiness since the surgery. I attributed most of it to side effects of narcotics or anesthesia. During the first week, whenever I got slightly behind on dosing I was achy. When I stopped taking them all together by the end of week 2, I was achy, non-stop for several days in a row. Like having the flu, along with nausea, chills and sweats. Now I am achy for about 25%-100% of the day. Still get chills and sweats. I am 27 days post fx & surgery.
The achiness/tiredness is really depressing. I attributed the symptoms to side effects from stopping narcotics, but I don't think they should be lasting this long. I don't know if this is a typical healing process or something else. I haven't seen anyone else discuss this when they broke an ankle. Anyone else have these symptoms?
