In 2016 I suffered a sever injury to my lower leg. I was told by two specialists that my injury is permanent and nothing can be done. Five years later my leg is still sore to the touch and my foot movement is limited. I don’t believe in giving up. I went to the clinic to seek treatment. They gave me several options and we chose PRP to start with. The procedure was a little painful, I’m not going to lie, but the next morning I woke up for this first time pain free. I am not completely healed, but I know I am on my way. I’m looking forward to more treatment and gaining the full use of my foot and leg. Give them a call and start your healing now.
Understanding Ankle Arthritis
Ankle arthritis occurs when the protective cartilage cushioning the ankle joint deteriorates, leading to bone-on-bone friction, pain, and inflammation. Common causes include trauma, repetitive strain, and age-related wear, especially prevalent among active individuals and older adults in urban areas like Los Angeles.
Typical symptoms include:
- Chronic ankle pain that worsens with activity
- Swelling and stiffness, particularly in the morning or after rest
- Decreased range of motion affecting walking and balance
- Joint tenderness and possible deformity in advanced stages
According to recent studies, approximately 7% of adults experience arthritis in weight-bearing joints like the ankle, making it a significant health concern for many in Los Angeles County.
