Thank you for your question.
With ankle arthritis, its best to avoid highimpact exercises that put excessive stress on the joint, such as running, jumping, or intense aerobic workouts.
Activities that involve sudden twisting or lateral movements can also worsen symptoms.
Instead, focus on lowimpact exercises like swimming, cycling, or gentle stretching to maintain mobility without causing pain.
Always listen to your body and stop any exercise that causes discomfort.

I can't say exactly, I do not treat such condition.
An orthopedic surgeon or a rheumatologist will be best to advice.
High impact activities can aggravate the pain. I recommend you be evaluated by a foot and ankle specialist (podiatrist) for diagnosis, and treatment options,

I do not recommend exercising initially with ankle arthritis. I recommend the modalities of acupuncture, herbs and massage 2-3 times a week for 4-6 weeks to get the best result.
