Yes. For ankle arthritis pain I recommend the modalities of acupuncture, herbs and massage 2-3 times a week for 4-6 weeks to get the best result.
Inflammation usually causes the pain. Reducing the inflammation will help. I recommend you be evaluated by a foot and ankle specialist (podiatrist) for diagnosis, and treatment options,
NSAIDs, voltaren cream over-the-counter. Other anti-inflammatories.
There is no cure for osteoarthritis but keeping a normal body weight and staying active can help prevent worsening.
