What are some home remedies to relieve ankle arthritis?

Not really: Other than the obvious Ibuprofen or naproxen, you are probably better off having the ankle evaluated and treatments discussed by a podiatrist or orthopedist. In order to treat a problem, you first need a diagnosis. Often, ankle arthritis responds to a steroid injection. Bracing can help as well. Advances have also been made in ankle joint replacement but this would be a last resort approach.

Ankle arthritis...: That's a tough one. You could try a topical homeopathic ointment (or cream) called traumeel [http://www.Traumeel.Us/]. It is available at some local drug stores and i can usually find it at whole foods. It also comes in oral form. This is, of course, if you are trying to stay in the otc arena.
