I've already broken this ankle before and have sprained it a couple times after that. Its always felt weak since the break and it felt loose and prone to rolling. I really sprained it bad 12/6/2021. They think I tore my anterior talofibular ligament and deltoid ligament. I'm getting an MRI 12/13/2021. When I point my foot in (toward the medial side) I feel most pain in the medial side and some in the outside (lateral side). But when I point it out (laterally) I feel pain only on the outside. I rolled it like an inversion sprain I think. I do gymnastics and was tumbling. I've rolled it this way every other time I've sprained it too. Given my ankle now and the history of it, do you think I'll need surgery or something for chronic ankle instability?? I'm really nervous.imageimageimage
