ocd of the talus

I had a lesion or cyst removed from the talus in myright ankle in july of 2010. it was removed by a drilling procedure that was done by my doctor.
Injuly of 2013, I had a cartilage transplant from myright knee and placed in my right ankle to fill in thehole where the cyst was removed.
I’ve been in therapysince febuary of 2014 and I still have alot of painin my ankle and I have wakling tolerance from 20 to40 minutes a day.
I also get alot of swelling aroundmy ankle.
I have a small plate with about 6 screws inmy ankle and I have a slot limp when walking. I wastold that this type of surgery very succesful for other people but, it’s been a disaster for me.
I’monly 33 years of age and my step is probably anankle fusion.

    You might consider asking your doctor about an AFO such as a Richie brace.
