PsA and ankle pain
Hello
I've had PsA for 5 years now, I take mtx 15mg and this controls my symptoms.
Over the last 6 months-ish, I've developed pain in the tendons/ligaments (not sure exactly!) where my ankle meets my leg. Both sides. It's worse first thing in the morning but I can feel it most of the time.
The rheumatologist has referred me to physio however it's going to take a long while to be 'seen'. So in the meantime, does anyone have any advice on what can I do to help ease it? I am 42, a school teacher so on my feet all day, I walk a lot, swim, do Zumba classes and rebounder trampoline class. I usually wear trainers, but footwear advice welcome! Any help would be amazing as I can't find much online!
Thank you so much!

Hiya @Cashew247
I would just like to welcome you too the Online Community Forum. I am so pleased you have found us.
After reading your post I was thinking how best I could reply to you then a thought popped into my head, when I had the bottom of my feet inflamed, I got a bottle filled with water, froze it, and just rubbed my feet over it.
I hope you find this information helpful, however the other forums and members might have other advice and information for you.
Take Care & Stay Safe
