Ankle Stiffness

Ankle Stiffness

It does not seem to matter if I sit for 3 hrs. or 3 minutes, once I stand my ankles have stiffened up and I have to let my body adjust before taking the first step.  I wonder if this has to do with extra weight, arthritis or being 66 years old.
I have had one total knee replacement and the other knee is not in great shape and that also causes leg weakness.
Short of losing weight, just wondering if anyone has some suggestions.

Hi there.  Have you talked to your doctor?  How long has this been going on?  It could be arthritis but it could also be tendonitis or maybe something else completely.  Definitely worth having investigated.
