Guest guest Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 You may want to ask your healthcare provider if it could be posterior tibial tendinitis (I had it) which requires a walking cast so the tendon can rest and heal. My podiatrist diagnosed it. If the tendon ruptures it can be a very serious problem...do get it checked out (or get a second opinion). My podiatrist recommended using an ice pack on the ankle and wrapping it in an Ace bandage for support. There are ankle supports you can buy in the pharmacy, as well. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 You should talk to your doctor about support for your ankle. If it's giving way, you could injure your ankle further. I have RA in my ankles and they used to give way a lot. Now they are permanently fused and have no side to side motion anymore, so at least I don't have to worry about them giving out anymore. Please talk to your doctor. a On Nov 12, 2005, at 2:29 PM, huenadia wrote: > hi i have RA and SS my RA is getting worse especially my ankles when i > get up to walk or if i am walking my right ankle gives way causing a > lot of pain any ideas > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
