[|AI|]  Dear patient as per your history it seems you are suffering from ankle arthritis. Also knee pain may be due to knee osteoarthritis.  If arthritis is severe treatment is either joint fusion or replacement. Joint fusion will to relief in pain but joint movements at fused level will be lost. Similarly, at knee level for severe arthritis replacement is better option or fusion is less likely. Other options are like injection of shroud at the joint but have only temporary effect, and they do not modify underlying disease. Stem cells do not have role in severe arthritis.
