wear anklet on walking.if pain is bearable,just ignore the cause or try to adjust to the fact,it wont interfere with routine.Post traumatic degenerative changes occur in a joint and to break from that, try glucosamine tabs twice daily for long term benefit it will prevent or slow down the degenerative process.
