Hello all there! I am having continuous mild dull ache and lil swelling on my left ankle since 2008. I ignored it as it is not stopping me from my routine but now I wanna do something about it. There is tenderness just behind malleolus. I checked, it is peroneal tendon (longus or brevis) problem, may be tear as my whole peroneal muscle is sore. Surgery is advised. Is there any alternative to avoid surgery as I wont be able to take rest for weeks which is desired after surgery. Ayurvedic or physiotherapy will be better.
