Tore my ATFL 5 weeks ago was on crutches for 2 weeks, I am now able to walk and slowly it is improving. The physio said I could get surgery if I wanted to (I do as I am young and don't want to have to worry about more damage and its stability later on), he said that a surgeon won't look at it now and that I have to wait a decent amount of time before they will is this tru?
