Firstly they will probably xray or MRI both ankles to determine the type and location of the arthritis. How many joints involved, how bad it is, how degenerated the joints are, etc.. They will help with your pain and anti inflammatory medications. They should also assess you for orthotics if needed and give advice on exercise and stretching. It can only help. Good Luck!0

In my hospital the msk clinic is a physiotherapy clinic where they will assess you to refer you to appropriate services. I got referred to physio, which actually wasn't appropriate for me and eventually to the rheumatologists. I don't know what function they have in your hospital.0
