Can arthritis affect only one joint?I've had recurring pain in my left ankle for 5 years. After walking for about 15 minutes the pain is so bad that I have to stop. Can you get any types of arthritis in one joint? I'm trying to figure out if it's just a physical injury that never healed or some disease.

Yes it can affect one joint.
My brother was a jogger for 30yrs, (four miles before breakfast) but now he has athritis in his one ankle and can just hobble about now.
Apart from this one joint hes fine

yes, osteoarthritis often only affects one joint.
