Ankle surgery anyone?

[Krestel 329]

So my big questions is if any of you have any experiences with ankle surgery? I guess the worst case scenario is ankle fusion. Anyone have any thoughts on that?

Now that Im getting down to more manageable weight, I want to get even more active than my morning dogs walks. The only problem (even with my walks) is my ankle tendon pain (and maybe a bit of arthritis). I screwed the hell of out my left foot over 20 years ago but since I never really recovered and gained weight afterwards, no doctor really wanted to take me seriously. So now with the weight going down, I finally got an orthopedic surgeon to take me seriously and Im getting help. But I have been so out of the loop on things like this that I have no idea what Im doing. So advice is greatly appreciated.

I did for a broken ankle, don’t really know if that’s what you’re looking for

How long did it take you to recover after surgery?

6 weeks for the actual break I believe. I ended up with an infection though, so it was two surgeries.
