Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

You should do an x-ray of the ankle to rule out some kind of arthrosis. Probably this is due to the time that you have protected your foot from walking. I think some anti-inflammators should work if the x-ray doesn't show anything.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Rezart Cipi
