Should i get ankle surgery for unstable ankle?

Depends: Not sure if you have spoken with any professional about different treatment options regarding your unstable ankle. Something as little as shoegear change, or physical therapy can help. If more acute or chronic type of pain, i would suggest you see a podiatrist.

IT DEPENDS: You should have x-rays including stress views; maybe an MRI. Then, maybe a functional brace and PT before surgery.
