Advice on ankle issue- I'm a triathlete and have a dozen Ironman races under my belt. Last may 2017 I sprained my ankle running. After physio, osteo, rest and slow progression to running my pain remains after 8 months. I recently had an MRI that revealed the following diagnosis (translated from french report from Montreal, canada): [/b]Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) tidio-astragalienne laterally to the astragalien dome and the tibial ceiling with Subchondral Cystic Lesions. No osteochondritis fragments present.[/b] Just the sound of it makes me cringe. My physio said to stop running immeadiately and seek orthopedic advice. He said that most likely i would never be able to run again. After almost passing out at the news...i started researching and what i see is rather depressing. Im trying to find out a potentiel prognosis for getting back to running . Im on awaiting list to see a specialist. Any advice or experinces from others on similar problem. I just cant wrap my mind around the fact i may need to stp running altogether. thx

Hi....just wondered how you are doing? I am in a similar boat. Just diagnosed with a lesion and a subchondral cyst. Ortho said I could try to immobilize to see if it will.shrink the cyst. 2nd option is surgery to remove it amd fill with cement. Im going to get more opinions before I decide. He did suggest no running :(

Did you need surgery? And are you back running?
I had a broken navicular due to a subchondral cyst and everyone told me that I would never be able to run after surgery. I proofed them wrong and started racing Ironman distances.
