What's your advice on exercising when you have been diagnosed with osteo-arthritis in your ankle?

It’s really painful in the morning and in the evening and having exercised 4 times this week for 45 mins each time it has gotten worse. But I am trying to lose weight in order to take the pressure off my joints so I need to exercise really…
I do aerobics and walking but nothing too strenuous on the ankle…not like constant running on it or anything…
Just wondered what the general advice would be as my doctor was useless and just put me on anti-inflammatories which have now run out and he doesn’t seem to think I should keep taking them…so I’m using an ibuprofen gel instead, which is helping a little…
So are you of the mindset…work through the pain to get the results…(does this then strengthen the ankle too??) or rest and let the weight come off really slowly?
Using Fluther
