Ankle stiffness
I am suffering from ankle stiffness for the past 30years. Consulted many rumatalogists, orthopaedic doctors. But they are prescribed painkiller tablets like diclofenac,aceclofenac. I don't have pain suffering only from stiffness. I need relaxation so that i can walk freely.

This could be a generalised stiffness in the ankle muscles. Sometimes the problem is not as serious as it seems to be. You can visit a good physiotherapist around to get ankle mobilisations and stretching/MET for your ankle joint to increase the Range of Motion. The muscles and the fascia may also need some mobilisation.
