It is good do walking exercise but please don't walking long distance, it will hurt your ankles.
Having pain is not normal. It is a progressive inflammatory process that tends to damage the joint. I recommend you to use a good ankle support brace for walking and a natural anti inflammatory supplement such as Colig10 which is intended specifically for arthritis.
Walking can be beneficial for arthritis in the ankles as it helps maintain joint flexibility, improves blood circulation, and strengthens the muscles around the joint, which can provide better support and reduce discomfort. However, for those seeking additional relief and faster recovery, acupuncture can be an excellent complementary therapy. Acupuncture may reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and promote natural healing processes, making it a highly effective option for managing arthritis symptoms and enhancing mobility.
Yes, otherwise the joint will completely stiffen up. However, you shouldn't be to aggressive which will only increase pain. Gentle exercise and range of motion movements are helpful. High impact exercises and running are not recommended or helpful.
