Suggest Treatment For Ankle Fracture And Acute Arthritis

Dear Dr Praveen. I tripped and caused a fracture on the highest part of my ancle. The local radiologist report said it was soft tissue damage so nothing was done to support it. After 12 months still so painful had an Athroscopy 12 mths last Jan. Since, has felt alot worse. I take 15mg Coxflam every night Which helps. Obviously it has turned to acute arthritis.

At the same time with limping to extent, my lower back is affected and is excrutiatingly
painful. ITs affected my life, I cant walk far I've had to give up walking and the Gym, which was my life.

I've started Yoga. It seems very strenuous on the joints. Is it good? But it does seem to help my back, but the anckle takes strain.

I take vitamins every day including glucosomin.

Had Rheumatoid test 5 yrs ago said negative but noduales have formed on hand.

What can I do. I'm 65yrs. female

Kindest regards Gillian
