Prognosis - Right Ankle?

I am sorry about your luck. I actually had the Brostrom-Gould Procedure done about two weeks ago. Before I had the procedure, I had sharp pains that went up my leg and the pain and the intervals between pain and relief kept getting worse. I had an MRI done in April and it just showed the ruptured ligaments that needed repaired. It did not show what the surgeon found inside my ankle. When the Orthopedic surgeon cut me open, he found that a tendon had broken off a piece of my fibula and it was still attached to the tendon. This piece of bone started to calcify and was creating a pearl inside my joint capsule. This was most likely the cause of my horrible pain and strange swelling. This swelling would come and go and would get worse as the day progressed. Anyway...the point of my story is that MRI's do not always show everything and sometimes the doctor has to cut you open before he can find out what is wrong. Maybe some sort of scope or biopsy would be a good idea in your case. Good luck :)
