Looks like I may be having ankle surgery soon. Basketball injury 25 years ago is finally returning to haunt me. Orthopedist says I need my joint scoped, some bone spurs removed, and my lateral ligaments tightened to correct a instable ankle. I have been doing fine for past 24 years but lately my ankle will swell for no apparent reason and is painful. Also, I can twist it very easily.
Anyone here had similar issues. I would like to hear about your personal experience with surgery. Did it help? Are you glad you had it done? How was the recovery period? I'm 43 and very active. I don't want this ankle to keep me from elk hunting with my kids when I'm 60. Any and all viewpoints welcomed. thanks
