Hi Sissyandfred and welcome to the Versus Arthritis forums.
I'm sorry to hear you have osteoarthritis in both of your ankles. Are you having any treatment or taking any drugs at all?

Hi thanks for the reply
I’m in pain when I walk etc but I just take ibuprofen rather than stronger ones because of side effects. I think I have bone spurs now & im worried about the future. I haven’t been given much info , just stuff Iv read on Internet about fusion, which sounds v scarey! I keep my weight down but it’s hard to exercise because of pain. But if I rest too much i get stiff & more pain ! Hopeless!
