My ankles particularly my right one on the inside behind the ankle bone and on the outside are thickened. It looks to be swelling but does not remain indented if pressed. I am very sedentary as my job requires sitting. I take bp med Topril, provastatin and lopid. I would like to have my ankles return to normal. is there anything i can do?
Hello, It is necessary performing some tests in order to investigate for the cause of swelling:- a cardiac ultrasound-complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation- kidney and liver function tests-blood electrolytes- A Doppler ultrasound of the leg vessels in order to investigate for possible chronic vein insufficiency. In the meantime, I would recommend trying to walk as much as you can and holding compression socks. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
