Have you torn a ligament in your foot/ankle?
A couple of weeks back I misjudged a step while doing astrophotography. The result of which was a torn ligament in my ankle, where it has torn small fragments of the bone with the ligament.
I've been in a moon boot for 2 weeks, will be for another 2. It's feeling OK though, and from day one have not had a problem standing on it.
I will need to decide if I have surgery or not (to repair the ligament or not). The decision is not clear cut.
Has anyone been through this process and have experience to contribute? To be honest I have plenty of opinions from those who have not so am only interested in opinions from those who have had a similar problem and either had or not had surgery.
My concern is long term effects (from either having the surgery or not having the surgery).
Figured I may as well canvas a larger audience here, as I only know one person who has been in a similar situation.
Thanks,
Roger.
