Does anyone know any home remedies to relieve ankle arthritis?
My grandmother has bad arthritis in her ankle. It hurts me to see her do her best to walk on that sore, swollen ankle everyday. I really want to help her. I know I can't fix the problem, but I was hoping that maybe someone would know a way to ease the pain and prevent some of the swelling. I would really appreciate it if someone could lend me some advice. Thanks.

Artheritus usually gets a lot worse in the winter, the cold bites into the affected area and in bad cases-unbelievable pain is endured by the patient, since it is winter, i understand the pain your grandmother mus be in and i respect you for taking this time to find a cure for her pain.
First of all, your grandmother should be taking her medication regularly, if the medication has any side affects which your grandmother doesn’t like, she doesn’t have to take the medication, so here’s some natural remedies which should help;
The MAIN thing is to keep the affected area warm the affected area left in the cold for just 30 seconds could trigger an excurtion of uncontrollable pain- so the best thing to do is to probably cut open the end of a sock so that the sock has two holes in it (one at either end) and put her foot throught the hole and over her ankle so that the ankle is covered- do this everyime your grandmother goes outside.
A second thing is to avoid srinking orange juice, the acid in the juice also triggers the pain, so if your grandmother has a lot of orange juice, the best thing to do is for her to replace all those glasses full of orange juice that she drinks with water- she should see a difference in pain levels withing a few days.
i really hope your grandmother gets better.
good luck!

First off its ARTHRITIS. Pore some EPSON salt in a buket or whatever you have with warm and place your foot or feet in it. That may help, or take Aleve or some kind of NSAID. Good luck
