For arthritis of the ankle, take medication exactly as prescribed. When the pain begins to decrease, gently begin to exercise the joint again. Swimming is good, followed by stretching. Walking can be added later. The physical examination will include detailed examination of the ankles.
Surgery is occasionally necessary.
