I saw my orthopod yesterday.  He confirmed a severe Grade 3 sprain.  
Duh.....  But, given that I have this miserable pain in the inside of my
ankle, and along my foot, he's concerned.  I can weight bear OK, but any
rotation in any direction causes LOTS of pain.  

So, I go in for an MRI of my right foot and ankle.  He wants to rule out
an occult fracture, and assess the connective tissue damage and degree
of healing.  We talked about the possibility of an ankle reconstruction,
because he is also concerned that I have this awful habit of spraining
an ankle every six months or so.  Chronic instability.  Yeah, this is
getting really old.  I dunno.  The thought of yet another surgery makes
me really unhappy.  But, I'm not going to stress over it till we talk
again next week.  Maybe there really is no need to stress, as maybe he
will look at the MRIs and think it's not really needed.  Wishful
thinking, for sure.

But, if it's needed, I need to research stuff like success rates and
patient satisfaction.  I do not want to undergo this unless there is a
reasonable rate of success.  Has anyone hear undergone any such surgery?  
I know Kate had her ankle replaced, but that's about it.  And, I know
she was satisfied with it. Oh Kate????? You around???????  What about
ligaments and tendons repairs?

I'm an inquiring mind, and I need to know.  This is looking like a
distinct possibility.  And, both my ankles are severely unstable, so I'd
be looking at two surgeries, possibly.
