I have a question, I was at the VA today to see the doctor about my ankles, I had a MRI on both of them and it came back that anterior talofiblar ligament in both ankles was not visualized and likely chronically torn, along with distal Achilles tendinosis in my left ankle and and a bone spur at the Achilles tendon insertion on the right ankle, there is allso a lot of other small things wrong with the ankle. The question is the doctor told me there was nothing he could do for me, there is a surgery to fix both ankles, but he told me he did not think the VA would pay for it, he said it the kind of surgery a pro basketball player would get, the problem is I am service connected for both ankles because of chronic sprains to the ankles, it seems to me the VA should pay for it, it was done in the military. I just wanted to know who I should talk to about this, to see if they will fix it or not.
