A member asked:
I had a mri left ankle reported instability and repeated ankle sprains many times. impressions stated: the medial and lateral intrinsic ligaments are intact. longitudinal split tear of the peroneus brevis. would this prove my instability of my ankle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly. The problem with multiple sprains is that your brain does not easily register where your foot is in space, called proprioception. Sometimes a short course of PT may be useful to 'retrain' that sense in your brain.
