I fractured my Tib/Fib in 2006. Long story but I had a horrible first surgeon that totally messed up both my ankles/feet. I was crippled. I moved back to CA, and I've had nearly a surgery every six months to correct the original surgeons mess. Now, after so many surgeries the outside of my right ankle (now a joint replacement), is super painful when I put my boots on.
Has anyone else experienced this kind of pain, and what have you done to help relieve the pain so you can ride? Any recommendation on boots?
Any help would be very much appreciated!
Thanks!

I have experienced it twice (in the same leg, 30 years apart), believe me, it works, no brainer.
If you don't have metal in there, probably a nerve has been damaged by the broken fibula and when you compress the whole area, it's reviving the trauma, not sure if there's anything you can do in that case.
The inner booty is great. Zero pain with that setup
The Shop
I have made multiple custom items for riders with ankle and foot issues to help alleviate pain while riding. I always suggest the Tech-10's for that reason. I will admit they are bigger and more bulky but I feel you get used to that in a few rides at the most. Please feel free to DM me if you have any questions about what options you might have to help your issue.
I had all the hardware removed when I had an artificial joint installed a couple years ago. My most recent surgery on my right ankle was this last March. I had two clumps of non-dissolving sutures left in my ankle from when the joint was replaced. The sutures were working their way out through the skin! My current surgeon removed them. The joint is strong enough and doesn't feel as though it's going to twist or collapse. I've just been left with pain from the pressure of the boot on that spot. A custom inner bootie might be the best solution.
Once again, thank you for all your thoughts and replies!
They are much appreciated!
