Having Pain In Right Ankle, Given Jointace DN & Poinmath. Whether The Problem Can Be Solved By These Tablets Alone Or Any Surgery Is Required?

Hi Dr. I am 39 years old. Having pain in right ankle since last 3 years. Pain starts immediately after walking from rest. It is lasting for about 15 minutes. after that there is no pain at all. I could walk even 10 -15 Kms. But if i sit fro a minute and then started walking again its paining. last month MRI was taken. Th e findings are osteochondritis dessicans involving medial talar dome. Then I have consulted a Orthopdedic Surgeon. He gave me tablets for 3 months. They are Jointace DN & Poinmath each 1 tablet per day. Whether the problem can be solved by these tablets alone or any surgery is required?. Kindly advice me. Thanks.
