Hello,

Thanks for writing to us,

I have studied your case with diligence.
Yes this can be arthritis.
You may need MRI /x ray of ankle and foot to see for development of any arthritis.
Shoe/footwear should be with soft sole. You can use silicon pad insoles.

Start plantar exercises consulting physiotherapist also Physiotherapy like TENS and ultrasound will help.
Take calcium supplement with vit D.

If no relief with this line of treatment then you may need subtalar fusion.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
