I am experiencing some swelling. My question is..... I had surgery on my ankle about 18 years ago I was 12. That ankle is so swolen all the time, my other ankle doesn't look anything like it. Did anyone have a similiar problem or have any idea as to why this may be happening? ↓

have u been tested for pre eclampsia? and usually around now i am 30.4 weeks, its common for swelling.. they say increase water intake, reduce salt intake, but i notice my knees hurtmore so now than they did after having surgery on them and recovering haha .. i guess the area just flares up, kind of like arthritis and cold weather, yanno. anyways you should ask ur doctor if you're unsure. ↑

My blood pressure is fine, it just must be from the injury. Just looking for peoples input or ideas. ↑

Put on a cold pack, keep it elevated. See your doctor if it starts hurting or gets worse ↑
