Possible Edema: Foot, leg, and ankle swelling

July 9th, 2006 by Rose DesRochers · 7 Comments

Swelled Ankle

My ankle began swelling exactly a year ago. Several conditions may cause ankle swelling, but local doctors are unable to find a cause for my swelling. They believe that it may be caused by fluid retention- Edema. Tomorrow, I’ll be evaluated by a rheumatologist and hopefully treatment will be determined.

    Oh my friend, I see the swelling. I am sure it’s very painful and I hate to see you in such pain. I do hope the rheumatologist can help find out why your ankle is swelling. My thoughts and prayers are with you tomorrow. ((HUGS))

    Hello, I found this post.. i know its from about a year ago, but Your foot looks like mine. It happened last august of 2006, its now march of 2007. In the morning its not as swollen but throughout the day it can get bigger and my ankle swells sometimes too, i’ve been to several doctors, including ones at University of Penn and they all say they don’t know what to tell me, there’s nothing they can do. I was wondering if you found out your problem and what it was. Also is it only one foot? Thanks so much.

    You may be containing fluid. I suggest confronting your doctor about prescribing water pills. My one foot was just swelling though both legs contained fluid. My one wrist swells too. The swelling stopped for serveral months, but last month when I increased my salt intake the swelling came back and they had to put me back on waiter pills. Good luck and I hope you get to feeling better.

    We tried water pills the swelling went down somewhat, but i still i had fluid there because you could tell. my foot has never went down fully to its normal size ever. they say my swelling is under the tissue, and to try compression socks, do you have any pain? because i dont. Thanks for replying!

    I only have pain when it is swelled. The funny thing is when they pressed on my right leg I had more pain than I did in my left leg that was swelled.
