Default Ankle surgery on june 1st

I have put it off and put it off and now I have no choice. My left ankle is giving out and has caused me to fall a couple of times. A small piece of chipped bone has pulled the cartliage away between the ankle joint across the top and down the inside of my ankle. My orthopedic doctor (who understands RSD) called my RSD doctor in Philly Dr. S. My ortho doctor wanted to confirm with him how to block the nerves in the leg for surgery. I trust this orthopedic docotor he replaced my husbands knee and repaired my daughters ankle and knee (she is a gymnist).

My concern is how much surgery will be needed. He told me the MRI shows a lot of damage. He is concerned there is more damage than the MRI shows. I will either have a scope or a reconstruction done to my ankle. I am praying for the scope.

I just needed to share this with all of you!
Thanks,
Sherrie
