Hi!

I want to start training mma (mixed martial arts) this september. I will take a year off from study and train intensively.

However, a few months ago, I went to my physiotherapis because my ankle sort of snapped all the time. Not painful, but annoying. I didn't hurt my feet or fell or something, one day it just was there. He diagnosed me with peroneal tendon subluxation.

I got conservative treatment for about 10 weeks but that didn't help. Now the only solution seems surgury. However, surgury ofcourse means risks and about 3 months revalidation.
At this moment I can sport without restraint, so I could wait with surgury. However, I don't want to do surgury next year while I'm doing mma, because then I have no study and
when I can't sport or work, I'll have little left to do. If I do surgy now, I can rehabilitate during study/summer vacation.

So, what would you advice me to do? Do you think I can do mma with a non-painful subluxating peroneal tendon?

Thanks!
