Arthritis ankle: If there is arthritis in the ankle then you may have consistent swelling. It is not unusual. It might be beneficial to seek a second opinion to give you peace of mind.

Great idea: Go for a second opinoin. If it doesn't hurt and your told by both its arthritis..There is no worry, other than the difficulty you may have putting on a shoe.
