I had both of my peroneal tendons repaired 5 months ago and still have extreme swelling over lateral malleolus. Have tried PT and steroid injections but nothing has helped. Dr. Seems to think I have damaged lateral ligaments and would like to operate again. Has anyone else experienced something like this? Thanks!

Apparently I was wrong and I only had tears in my brevis. There was the longitudinal tear and then the complete rupture. My mri from two days ago doesn't say anything real exciting about my ligaments. It states moderate tendonopathy and tenosynovitis of the peroneus longus as it course along the plantar aspect of the calcaneous.
