Please do get your ankles checked out if they do not improve. You know I am in that situation real deep. Ankles are indeed very very complicated parts. Hope impovement happens to your knees and your ankles with good diet and rest. Do upper body movement, just gentle stretching is great. I often think I would have love tie chie (don't know how to spell it) It is an excersice the Japanese do I think. Slow controlled movement. wishing you health Waves, and I am a bit worried about you. ginnie
