Iv'e had this condition about a year now.. when I poke at the affected area, it feels like a fresh painful bruise. What are my options? Can I get rid of this? Or like arthriits, is this something that'll stay with me for the rest of my life?

To start, it is an inflammation, so you can treat it with Motrin, Advil or Aleve.
Since it is a fresh-feeling pain and it has been so long, it is time a doctor looked at it. They may prescribe a more aggressive approach to resolving it. I would guess you don't have to deal with a fresh injury pain the rest of your life, but you may not get it back to a normal healthy feel you had before the condition.

Tenosynovitis of the ankle is usually curable in about 6 weeks with heat treatments, corticosteroid injections and rest of the inflamed area. Recovery is usually quicker if the inflammation is caused from a direct blow rather than from a sprain or strain
