I can't say exactly, I do not treat such condition.
An orthopedic surgeon or a rheumatologist will be best to advice.
High impact activities can aggravate the pain. I recommend you be evaluated by a foot and ankle specialist (podiatrist) for diagnosis, and treatment options,

It's important to consult with your doctor or physical therapist before starting any new exercise program. They can provide guidance on safe and effective exercises that are appropriate for your condition.

I do not recommend exercising initially with ankle arthritis. I recommend the modalities of acupuncture, herbs and massage 2-3 times a week for 4-6 weeks to get the best result.
