Hello,

As per your medical history you have back and ankle pain, so take treatment for it first and when 100% cured start to exercise in your treadmill machine. Initially start it with moderate speed and 30 minutes per day and gradually increase it further.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Uday Nath Sahoo
