Ankle ligament operation (Read 394 times)

I've got a dilemma. An old ankle injury has come back to haunt me, and now I have to run with an ankle brace as I've got a "mechanical problem" in my ankle. I'm running at the moment with relatively no pain, but slight discomfort. The doc says I'm going to need an operation to fix the problem, he fixes the ligaments and after the op and rehabilitation, I should be fine. I've got no doubt I need the op, apparently it's rather common, what I would like to know if anyone else has had this operation and what was their experience? Thanks, Andrew
