Recommendations for ankel arthritis
Hi, My mother has been recently diagnosed with ankel arthritis. Her left leg was already injured back in her childhood, no tissues or muscles can be found except a vein that carries blood with less pressure. My mother was lean at her young age but as she grew her body weight drastically increased. Because of this her left leg started giving troubles like pain and swelling. Due to her left leg, her right leg ankel too started swelling. Right now she is in a condition that if she does not intake tablet then she can't walk and the swell develops but with tablets the swell reduces and she feels no pain, yet she feels that the legs get tired if stood for a period of 5-10 mins. While the tablets gives temporary relief, I am afraid if that could cause any other side effects. As I am aware, there is no cure for ankel arthritis, please give me guidance for any alternatives. I have attached the tablets that she consumes for ankel arthritis and x-ray

X-rays not showing much arthritis. Consult orthopaedic surgeon In person to see simple calf stretching exercises and medial arch support might help. Wait until corona virus settles unless it is not tolerable.

Foot and ankle pains are multifactoral. The Xray does not show significant arthritic changes. It could also be due to tendinitis( most common) or a sprain, you need to visit a doctor who is into foot and ankle for better understanding of the problem.
Next Steps
visit an orthopedic surgeon with expertise in foot and ankle
Health Tips
Painkillers are not the solution here, as simple change in footwear or activity could help you out.
