Run with ankle arthritis is not proper, you can do some short distance walking exercise, it will help your arthritis.
The diagnosis of ankle arthritis does not mean you cannot run. If you can run, then do. If you are concerned about it, look to chiropractic, physical therapy and/or acupuncture to address the symptoms and to decrease inflammation.
Yes you can certainly run with ankle arthritis. The question is are you currently getting treatment for it? A lot of people have osteoarthritis in their joints but it really depends on what stage it is. There are 4 stage to joint degeneration. So the answer to your question is yes. If you have any other questions please let me know. Dr. Rodney Morris Jr
No, you better not run with ankle arthritis. Please get treatment and get better before running. I hope you get well soon.
