Hi, I m wondering if anyone here went through this:
I rolled my ankle trail running. Nothing too extreme, standard swell and the usual hint of yellow and fushia skin coloring, a bit of bone bruising too.
Nevertheless, this time I was in France and had fast free access to MRI, so the doc prescribed me one after I told him that I shredded my ankle to pieces 6 years ago mountain biking in whistler and did nothing but wait for the healing process.
Imagery shows all the lateral tendons and ligaments completely torned :(
The doc advised me to get surgery to reattach the whole thing together.
On the other hand, I manage to live quite well without them. I was climbing, playing tennis, hockey, biking, skiing etc without issues.
I have fully recover now and I am in the middle of a great ski season.
I m thinking of booking the surgery in the spring, the doc says it is two month recovery which ain't too bad. I just wonder if it is really going to make a difference in the long run. If the only downside is to give up trail running I m not going to cry for long.
Any advice?
Best
