Suggest Treatment For Arthritis In Talonavicular Joint
I m a 51 yrs old, had poliomyelitis in childhood with residual paralysis of the Lt lower extremity. my left ankle joint was fused at the age of 15yrs. Recently I started getting pain around the ankle joint and the Xray showed that the unfused talo-navicular joint has arthritis. I was prescribed mega free flex for 2 mths which I took for regularly. It did help for some time but pain has returned ! month post stopping the drug. pl advise whether I should continue the same drug for more time or not. thanks
