Arthritis can develop in a foot or ankle. As it progresses, the friction-free cartilage breaks down causing pain and stiffness. Eventually, the ankle can become too stiff to move and ankle replacement or fusion surgery can be needed.
People with diabetes have an increased risk of developing a foot problem. The diabetes can cause a reduction in the blood and nerve supply to the feet, causing a loss of feeling in it. This is known as peripheral neuropathy.
