My doctors have told me I partially tore some ligaments, tore my achilles tendon, and I also have almost no range of motion on my ankle. I also am still experiencing immense pain in the joint. I am seeing an orthopedist next week, however I am afraid he is going to say i need surgery. Can anyone advise me on what to expect? I appreciate it. There is nothin wrong with surgery. I am just not relishing the fact, that's all It can take up to a year or more to heal. You need to follow the advise of your doctors. What is wrong with surgery? Ligaments won't heal on their own if they're torn. Talk to your doctor about all of your options. If you aren't happy seek another opinion. |
