Evening all.
Posting this in the general chat to increase my chance of replies.
To cut a long story short: I very badly sprained my ankle nearly 6 months ago (rolled it whilst playing netball).
I’ve had various physio appointments and have done some exercises. Also had an ultrasound scan which showed 3 ligament tears.
Ankle is obviously a lot better than it was, but still miles off from being “normal” and like the ”good” one. It’s still swollen, hurts in certain positions, hurts first thing in the morning and I can’t put any significant weight on it i.e run!
I’ve finally managed to get my GP to refer me to an orthopaedic surgeon and I have an appointment in a few weeks. I have played Dr Google and am now wondering whether I will need ligament surgery to sort it because surely now, 6 months down the line, things should be pretty much back to normal??!
So my questions are, has anyone suffered with a sprained ankle that wouldn’t heal, and if you did, what happened? Did you have surgery etc? Or was it just a very long recovery period? Maybe I am being inpatient, I don’t know, but god I am tired and depressed with having a bad ankle 😩
