I can appreciate your frustration have what seems like a “ knee problem” and a therapist concentrating on the ankle if improvement of your gate is deemed a podiatrist can help with this. A podiatrist is trained in biomechanics ( how your anatomy functions). They can evaluate your gate, muscle strength and stretching which is very important
