Guest guest Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Fern, You need to look at how much you are sitting during the day. If you are in a wheel chair you legs need to be elevated. Also look at your medications. I know that a medication that I take like Evista (bone density) can cause it. Your circulation can cause it also but the best advice I can give you is see your doctor right away. I had a swollen ankle last year and it was cause by a small blood clot. I done mean to alarm you but that needs to be look at......................Flora/Florida Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Hi Fern, My ankles get swollen if I stand to long or dangle my legs to long like when I'm ironing, but afterward if I keep them elevated they go back down to normal. That's my experience, hope it helps. Take care and...
