Is Arthritis ,related With Club Feet With Swollen Ankles?
I was born with club feet. My doctor told me I would probably get arthritis earlier than most. I am now 36 years old. I have an office job so really the problem is after I do heavy exercise or am on my feet a lot. Ankles get so sore and swollen I can barely walk. Is this arthritis?
It is advisable to wear tailor made shoe brace to maintain centre of gravity of whole body. Shoe/footwear should be with soft sole. You can use silicon pad insoles.
If no relief with this line of treatment then local injection shot can give pain relief for longer duration. If there is marked arthritis of ankle/foot then fusion may help to reduce pain.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
