Peroneal tendon subluxation
Not sure where else to ask this but about 2 weeks ago I badly sprained my ankle doing something pretty mundane. I kind of naturally have loose joints (my shoulders sublux constantly) and my ankles naturally have the tendon roll over more than most people. When I twisted my ankle, I instantly heard a pop and could not bear wear without my peroneal tendons rolling over my ankle bone and getting stuck (subluxing) and my ankle was very unstable. The pain stopped after about 2 days. The instability and subluxation continued (couldn’t walk even in CAM boot) for about a week and now my ankle just feels tight, no longer unstable, and I can finally bear weight and walk a little (2 weeks in). I haven’t experienced subluxation in about 5 days (albeit I only really started walking today). I went to an orthopedic surgeon that said I will need a pretty invasive surgery to get my peroneal retinaculum repaired and booked me for surgery the following week, however, I haven’t experienced the subluxing in a few days. I have an MRI a few days before my surgery so I’m not sure if the retinaculum is torn. Basically I want to hear if anyone has had a similar experience and recovered without surgery or if others have gotten the surgery and their experience. Thank you in advance!!
