Anyone had ankle surgery???

I have a bum ankle, basically broke a tiny triangle off the bottom outside tip 10 years ago and then 3 years ago rolled it both ways and tore the ligaments and tendons. The ankle is loose and is causing me grief, no physio as there are small pieces crunching around and tendons and ligaments are super loose.

I have to have surgery aparrently and my doctor has come highly recommended and would not suggest surgery if he didn't think it was neccessary.

Has anyone else had ankle issues requiring surgery??? I would like to hear what they have to say about the process and healing.

Thanks,

Brett
