I have severely damaged ligaments in ankle. doctors, do you have an opinion?

Depends: It really depends on your symptoms. Ankle instability is treated nonoperatively with ankle supports and possibly physical therapy. If nonoperative management fails, surgery is sometimes recommended to stabilize the ankle.
