I cannot offer any solutions
however it terms of helping with the stiffness and pain.....
freeze foam cups overnight with water in them...three quarters full
then put a towell on the floor
tear off top two inches of cup, so you have a sort of ice pen
use this to massage over the ankle
the ice will numb the ankle...and then when you have finished the blood will rush in and relieve the pain
also try rubbing algesal or deep heat type cream in0 -
my only worry is that this b----y oa is now in my ankles and as i am going for a tkr in the next few weeks how will my ankles hold outI know i am a lady ,all life is a journey xx MAY xx0

sorry you're having more pain...I can understand your worry about having TKR and now probs with the ankles....
I don't have any wise words other than to try the hot & cold treatment to relieve your pain. The suggestions made by bluebeard are great..so maybe that will work better.
would it be worth trying to speak to your consultant or GP? maybe they could give you more advice or change of meds?
hope the ankles settle and that you are ok to go ahead with the tkr...have you been given a date for that?

Hi I have weak ankles and had a TKR in July.The hip pain is helped so much by TKR it is such a relief.You will have crutches afterwards and this will help take weight off your ankles.
Cheers and good luck
