A member asked:
Torn ligaments in my right foot. when leg is straightened out the foot is turned off the the right. as it heals will foot line back up with the leg?

Maybe: if you are guarding because of pain then hopefully this will correct as you strengthen. If this is an old injury and the foot position is what you have left, then unlikely. See a foot/ankle specialist to determine your options which may include surgical repair
