Hi
Post Traumatic Arthritis is a common complication seen in patients who were not treated properly at the time of injury.
If the pain at present is severe and limits your daily activities I would advise you to get an X-ray of your ankle and consult with an Orthopedic surgeon.
If there is significant arthritis you may need to undergo a surgery known as Arthrodesis where we would fuse your ankle. Post fusion you will not have pain in walking and you would be able to carry out your daily activities without any pain or difficulty.
