Hello @user_ch3aef5aa,

I apologize for the late reply. If you don't mind sharing, I have some questions about your ankle replacement. I can relate because I had end-stage arthritis in my left ankle and still have end-stage arthritis in my right ankle. Because I am 31 and active, it was recommended that I do an ankle-fusion in each of my ankles. I did my left ankle-fusion in December of 2014. It was not easy and was an extremely difficult recovery process. I was told I was not a candidate for ankle replacement because the parts are so small and prone to malfunction due to my physical lifestyle.

If you are comfortable sharing, how is your recovery going? What sort of activity levels did your providers say you would be able to do once you have recovered?

I have not had ankle replacement. Considering it, but nor sure at this point. That is not determined at this point.
