I am a 65 year old healthy, active man. I had a bad ankle sprain in my early thirties, and now it has come to haunt me as arthritis in my right ankle. I have no other arthritis in my body, and no other medical conditions. After an MRI and consultation with a surgeon, I was told my only treatment options are ankle fusion, ankle replacement, or cortisone shots. I enjoy skiing and mountain biking, which I still do, and I want to continue doing both, so I want to avoid surgical treatment if possible. I took cortisone shots a couple months ago, and also started using orthotics in all my shoes, and these actions have helped a lot, but I know that deterioration is inevitable. I am hearing positive things about stem cell treatment, but this was never discussed with my surgeon during consultation. I hope you can shed some light about this potential other treatment. Thank you.
Hi. How often do you have cortisone shots, please? Does it help? I am 43 by the way. Arthritis in both ankles 😔progressing rapidly
@@tanyaluchko9003 I have only had cortisone shots once. I think it has helped. These days my ankle is fine unless I do a lot of walking or biking, then it aches at end of day. I recommend giving it a try.
Stuart. I’m 75. I have had triple Arthrodesis operation 50 years ago on both feet at same time ( arthritis both feet ). Could hardly walk with pain I was a butcher 50 years on my feet all the time .No trouble after operation pain all gone !!!! ( didn’t have pins or screws in my feet !!! ). I had some pain and stiffness in my left foot 2 years ago so had some shock wave treatment on it 3 shots no trouble since fantastic since. Would recommend triple Arthrodesis lifetime without pain. !!!
I slipped in the snow 3 years ago and my ankle has never been the same. I have sprains when I walk alot ,hike, and run.
Oh I’m so sorry. 😭💔 I hope you get well soon xx
4 years now.. hows it goin?
Same here it's been 2 yrs it's worse when it's cold and protine level is increase.
Excellent talk on ankle arthritis. You covered all the topics concisely and understandably. My right ankle is arthritic and this explains my options very well. Already had a debridement 25 years ago.
What type of injury did you have ? How long after injury did arthritis start
Thank you..explained very well ! I would feel comfortable having you do my procedure.
So helpful to hear all this info and the options, thank you for doing this, you are amazing 😀
I have ankle arthritis and I'm looking for options to treat my ankles and I have hip arthritis as well so this helps quite a bit thank you for this information
You are amazing at explaining
7 months out from a trimal pilon fracture from a dislocation of the talus. ER doctor told me “if you didn’t have arthritis in your future you do now” ☹️
I have ankle arthritis, and the only problem I have is when sitting and getting up in the morning, then having that dull ache. Walking, running with a brace, I'm fine.
What type of injury did you have ? How long after injury were you diagnosed with arthritis?
I am 34, i was on migrabeta plus medicine which i stopped for a week and suddenly one morning my whole body was in pain and unable to walk or move or sleep which took 6 month to settle but the angle pain in right leg is still there after almost 1year and unable to walk and Dr said it's arthritis. Now I am on homeopathy medicine. It's helping a lot.
I myself have ankle arthritis and I was diagnosed with this at the age of 18 which I’m not too surprised because when I was a kid in grade 5 I broke one of my ankles and then I sprained it several times I have arthritis in my ankle but I also have arthritis in one of my fingers in the left hand I have arthritis in this finger because I ended up having to get surgery two years ago on it to remove a ganglion that was causing pain and now I have permanent arthritis and bad circulation in this finger
I am a 40 years woman i got ran over 10 years ago I have a broke screw a plate and two more screws a my ankle because my ankle got shattered when I got run over it's been hurting me for 3 months now and every surgery doctor I went to says it's arthritis and not the broke screw that's causing my ankle pain so they referred me to a arthritis surgery doctor witch im trying to get a referral note from my primary doctor so I can make an appointment to go see him about this pain I've been having in my ankle 3 months now. what do you think it is. Is it my broke screw that causing my pain in my ankle or is it arthritis
I have osteoarthritis In my right knee. My ankle only flare up when I am driving or sitting in a van on the way home from work. I can not take NASAID due to blood thinner.
My doctor just had a “sit down” X-ray of my ankle to see if my complaints lead to the diagnosis of arthritis.
I told him it hurts and is stiff when I walk on it. Especially toward the end of a long shift at work.
Wouldn’t it have been better if he saw an X-ray of me standing on it? Just wondering.
Btw- he said it’s not arthritis (although I have every symptom) and referred me to a podiatrist.
thanks for the info Doc
I would like to something on ankle replacement post op pain , movement exercise and where you or what your ability should be at say 1year 1.5 years etc etc
This is glorious, I've been looking for "osteoarthritis genetic" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Hanadelyn Banadison System - (should be on google have a look )?
It is a good one off product for discovering how to get rid of arthritis without the hard work. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my work buddy got cool success with it.
Thank you very much
what's the difference between what you do and what a podiatrist would do
derrick smith podiatrists train to treat the foot and ankle just as an orthopedic surgeon who chooses to specialize in the foot and ankle would. Both are well trained in treating issues pertaining to the foot and ankle. Orthopedic surgeons complete an ortho residency and later they can choose to specialize in different areas such as the hand, hip, foot & ankle, etc. whereas a podiatric residency is 3+ years focused on the foot & ankle.
Thank you !! Great info. Also, smart and beautiful. 😊

Thanks so much for this ❤
When can we say that this pain in ankle is already an ankle artritis ? Thank you!
I can't wear rocker bottom shoes because I have Insertional Achilles Tendonitis. I've been wearing New Balance 990v5. Are those good for ankle arthritis? Or do you recommend a different shoe? Thanks.
Hi ….So I am nearly 64 years old. I live in Wales in the UK.
I have osteoarthritis in my ankle from a soccer injury many years ago in my late twenties. At that time I injured both my ankle ligaments on my right foot.. I was told years later after an X-ray that my ankle has now become arthritic. I get regular flare ups with the ankle which has caused excruciating pain and swelling in the foot. My doctor told me that that could be gout. But strangely uric acid levels are normal. He was going to put me on Allopurinol but because the uric acid levels were normal he said that would be pointless at this stage.. So he’s sending me back for another X-ray to see how much the arthritis has progressed and I’ve given more blood tests.. I am slightly frustrated by not knowing what is going on with my ankle.. Which treatment if any of the ones you mentioned, going by my symptoms would you think will be forthcoming.. My very best wishes Derek
Death is the only real pain relief.
I hope things turned out well for you, that is a sad comment.
Yes and the best pain prevention is not giving birth. Antinatalism ftw!
You made me laugh, thank you.
Very true. All these ankle solutions are bullshit
You just aren't drinking enough beer
I had a bad fall 4 years ago and ripped all my tendons and badly damaged ligaments.. When it's cold weather its sorer than usual but I'm no getting so so much pain in my ankle now.. Don't wanna bug the doc about it but it's very sore and I can handle pain
Hi my name is Marilyn Carroll I just got diagnosed with rumetoid arthritis in my feet and ankles it hurts what are my options
Im 36 been suffering with pain in my left foot since i was 14 . I have had a talcocaneal coalition extraction about 5 years ago and steroid injections but to no avail . I have arthritis and they is consideration to a fusion of the foot im really nervous about it thou .
I don't understand. My leg same in video please help me how to treat
I had lateral ligament reconstruction and arthroscopy in my cartilage talus area .... apparently my surgeon did some repair to my cartilage ... what, I’m not really sure... well it’s been 8 months and I’m doing physio, and I still have a lot of pain, only with weight bearing, especially shifting my weight side to side ... and some moments it feels good and others I can barely put any weight on it at all.... I met with another surgeon because my original one left the clinic .... and this new surgeon basically told me this may be permanent.... this is debilitating at times and I was better off before this surgery .... anything you think I should ask for or look for? They are doing an MRI for me after the New Year .... but this news was very disparaging
i have spine hand hip arthritis and i think my ankles are next, it gets so painful to where it feels like the ankle bones are going to snap like popscicle sticks!
is your uric acid high?
Gorgeous!
From rheumatoid arthritis ankle deforms by itself or it needs some trauma to do deformity? Big thanks from latvia.🙏

What is the best pain killer in the market! My ankle pain is killing me
Morphine tablets and syrup. My son is on it.
Tramadol gives me some relief for several hours.
How do i determine if its this...gout...or right side heart failure
I wasn’t sure if I had gout as well so after years of pain I finally seen a foot doctor and she did a mri and found arthritis in my ankle. Sucks especially being 30 but I’ve work my foot so much with work and sports that I guess it was bound to happen. X rays won’t show it only mri.
Why heart failure?
I can play sports, football if I have ankle arthritis?
Excellent info! Sadly the arthritis is making in mobile!!!! 😥
I have a lot of friends here in Mindanao, Philippines that’s have this they are from Maitum. Well first off I sort of have it too but as bad as they do. I’m heavier than them as well. We all smoke and drink very frequently. Though why is that that the smallest amount of sardines or having more than a few drinks trigger it in them I mean I’m 36 like most of them some are a little older. Is it too much rice or, certain fish because a lot of them go fishing for a living for fish and also for small to medium squid they eat that a lot too. I always worry for them because I know how much it hurts 😢
That’s great to learn my future when I’m older I’ll have to get it get my ankle joint replaced how lovely but kind a Knew that because I broke it when I was eight years old and I kind a new that I would probably have to get ankle repair when I get older I’m 19 now yay by the time I’m like 65 I know I have to get my ankle replaced that’s for danger

I'm only thirteen and I have this
Im sorry that you have this at so young. Hugs
same!!
That really sucks. I just turned 20 and I also have this. Hang in there.
My feet are flat as a pancake. 😫
Always Tylenol ! That's always the Answer.. PT. That doesn't always work..
The only treatment option that works is a shotgun. Fusion and ankle replacement are garbage options
Nothing cures Deterating Bones.....
