X-Ray, MRI and... Operation???

Today went down to CGH for 1st-time specialist consultation, for my ankle... after some fiddling of my ankle/foot here and there, the "bo-chap"-faced doctor said that I need an MRI, as I may have 3 types of issue with my ankle + tendon... He explained briefly, but I still can't remember... anyway, he also mention may need operation to repair the damage, pending MRI scan 2 weeks later & result weeks later... heck, never thought 1 sprain could be so complicated...
