Ankle Impingement and Limited ROM

[ash422]

An update.... I decided to go ahead with bone spur removal, and it has been "shaved" as stated by the consultant (yesterday). I am now waiting for bandages to be be removed before seeing a physio after a week.

Thanks to everyone that has commented on my condition.

If any one has any further advice as to limiting the re-occurrence of the bone spur (at this critical juncture), I would very much appreciate the help.

I will post my results and progress shortly. Many thanks.

Hello,

I have just been diagnosed with ankle impingement and would like to know your progress if possible?

I competitively roller skate and am very worried that I may no longer do so.

My operation results were very positive, although there was still some minor impingement in the joint. I never returned to full range of motion unfortunately.

There were no after-effects from surgery and no pain in the joint at all. I was able to return to playing football, although I have never quite gained the same amount of confidence. Doing things (such as sport) in moderation is key. I would recommend an MRI scan and a very detailed diagnosis. It is possible to recover from this type of problem, and my results from surgery were very positive.

I suffered another minor sprain a few months later on the same ankle, and have not returned to sport since. I will attempt do some further running in the short term (after rest). I will also look at perhaps another scan next year to see if there has been further degradation.

Good luck!! Do you feel that it is bone or tissue impingement?
