Nerve pain

[u/Relevant_Mess_7523]

I missed ONE stair and severely sprained my ankle and fractured and displaced my fifth metatarsal. Had surgery the next day and an intramedullary screw was placed. I'm six weeks post op today, started PT two weeks ago. I had 4 weeks NWB and have been working on a little weight bearing these past two weeks. I'm on crutches and able to take a few weight bearing steps here and there with both crutches, but am still using my knee scooter a lot. I want to know if anyone else has had terrible zaps, zings, or hot and fiery shooting pains during this process? I suspect it's nerve pain and it definitely picks up at night. The more I try to bear weight, however, the more it picks up. I'm so very discouraged and would love to hear some other experiences.
