In 2006 while I was in the Army I fractured my ankle... but there was more. More damage was done to my ankle than they knew. After 4 long years and more pain than I have ever been in, there is finally resolution to my pain. Well the pain is still here, but I now know what's wrong.
Last week I saw an ankle and foot specialist. He ordered an MRI. Tuesday I had an MRI and had to wait 3 long days for the results. Today was the best day of the week! I got my MRI results!
Drum roll please...
I have a torn ligament! I have had this torn ligament for 4 years! Surgery is the only thing that will make it better. I can wait for surgery and let it get worse and more painful or I can schedule my surgery and have it fixed. So now it's just a matter of figuring out when I can have my surgery. It's an outpatient surgery. 60 minutes... 2 weeks on crutches... physical therapy at 4 weeks... and 2-3 months for a full recovery! I can't wait!!
