Pain and Swelling on the Ankle

Question

Lately I have been having pain on my ankle bone. It has now been starting to get swollen.I never broke or sprained my ankle or twisted it. Has anyone ever experienced this?

Answer 1

The term is called edema

It's possible that it is just water retention. Have you increased "salty" items in your diet, or been slacking on activity?

I would suggest that you Elevate your ankle and if it continues to call the Dr.

Cutting back on chips/ pretzels may help - OK

You may also be dealing with a condition called lymphedema.
