ankle arthritis may be fixed by the use of an orthotic or brace that can be used along with shoe wear. Medications can be used to help with pain and swelling and stiffness. Sometimes her cortisone injections can be administered. With progression, sometimes surgical approaches become necessary
It depends - a proper in person assessment is needed to better discern the severity and give you the most appropriate answer
