Wildberry,

Like I said up at the top read up on abalation, you should consider all the pros and cons. I had it done the only thing it did for me was decrease swelling. Any good Doc will explain that the nerves can and will grow back and not always in a good way. Please consider this seriously. I wouldn't want to be on bed rest to long, your legs, ankles and feet need the movement.

Good luck with what ever you decide, always remember it is your body, your decision what you do with it.
