Brief Answer:
Get investigated.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have read your query.
I am very happy to see a man of 90 year old asking for the query, as you have more experience of life than me and you have probably seen more different aspects of life than me.
Anyways, first of all I want to clear you that pain you are explaining may be due to many reasons, like diabetes which destroys joint slowly, previous trivial trauma or just a sprain.
In my opinion you should get fasting blood sugar levels and xray of ankle joint in AP, Lateral and mortise view and send me the report I want to see the present condition of your ankle joint.
Secondly at this age you must get your examination of ankle joint done by orthopedic surgeon, as he will do certain tests of ankle which are necessary for your diagnosis to be made along with xrays etc.
Till then you should avoid squatting, upstairs, prolong standing etc.
Have tab.aceclofenac 100mg +serratiopeptidase 15mg twice a day by prescription of your family doctor as this is not over the counter available.
Apply hot packs for 30 mins in morning and evening.
Wear ankle brace while standing and walking, it will help you alot.
I hope you got the point.
Thanks,
Dr.CHANDER XXXXXXX XXXXXXX
