The only long-term option for treatment is fusion of the ankle, and I don't want that. I'll try another cortisone shot this hunting season, see how that works.



I bring a zip lock bag of black pepper or pam spray for early season hornets and place on meat

I have bad osteoarthritis in my right ankle from a bad break in military.

I use this:

I stand on one leg and place foot in center of board and do 20 reps clockwise and the 20 counter clock wise rotating disk with ankle making sure I touch all sides of disks while rotating. Great for ankle strength and mobility. First few times are tough but keep at it and it seems to help me.
