Ankle joint arthritis is no joke – pain, stiffness, swelling, and maybe some wobbliness too. Could be from old injuries, arthritis spreading from elsewhere, or infections. Docs will chat with you and take some X-rays. For the basics, it’s all about comfy shoes, special inserts, and meds. If it’s major, surgeries like ankle arthroscopy or fusion might be in the cards. Early diagnosis and a tailored plan are your best bet.
