I don’t have any experience of osteoarthritis in the ankle, at least not yet, mine is in my knees and hips, but I can recommend the Arthritis Uk website for reliable information. They also have a very useful helpline. (They’ve recently changed their name from Versus Arthritis.)

I saw a Physiotherapist as advised last week. He has recommended using a stick when I walk my dog. Lose weight, some exercises and use Voltarol or similar to rub in. All of this to manage it so it doesn't get worst.
I'm in shock, how debilitating it is.
Has anyone got other suggestions or recommendations that who help.
Many thanks
