What does an orthopedic consultation in Belgium involve for persistent ankle pain?

What does an orthopedic consultation consist of here in Belgium for a persistent ankle injury due to previous moderate/severe ligament tears? I've already had an x-ray in Feb 2023 and nothing was found in the scan, but the foot/ankle gives me pain everyday, especially when walking up and down stairs. After the initial injury, I was supposed to stay off of it, but couldn't.

  • In consultation, your ankle stability will be tested. If found unstable, You 'll need dynamic ultrasound scan + mri and see a foot&ankle specialist.
