Hello,
Welcome at HCM.

In a case of operated post traumatic ankle there are chances of having post traumatic arthritis.You should do following to have relief-

-If you are gaining weigh then reduce it.Keep your self in normal weight range.

-Wear ankle supports .These are available OTC.

-Take some supplements like glucosamine(750 mg twice a day) & chondroitin(200-400mg twice a day).

-Apply warm pack over the ankle for at least thrice a day for 3-5 minutes.

Hope this will help you.

With best wishes.
