After all consideration: time, physical therapy, continued and on going pain I would consider an ankle stabilization procedure should be considered. I have performed very successful stabilization so it can be done. At your age and considering On going cortisone injections is not one that I would consider

At this point you are advised to inquire about a complex regional pain syndrome as a cortisone injection to the ankle would not necessarily benefit you

A member asked:
Calf pain for a year. MRIs:Mild feathery edema within several muscles. Recently I tried KT tape and surprisingly it really reduced the pain but as soon as I remove it, the pain comes back. Why is that? Does it speed up the healing? Or is it temporary?
