Chronic sprain: These are frustrating. hopefully the ligaments will heal on ther own. Ankle surgery for a chronic sprain is problematic. Your doctor is appropriately cautious about referring you to a specailist that does these as the results are variable. it all depends on how well you are currently coping. if you are miserable enough, get the second opiniion
