Suggest Treatment For Swelling And Pain In Ankles And Leg

You need examination!
Detailed Answer:
Hi friend
Welcome to Health Care Magic
This is highly suggestive of ‘dependent edema’ – swelling on prolonged standing or sitting / reduces or disappears on lying down. It is generally due to weakness of vessel (vein) wall / incompetent valves.
However, because it is the first time you have noticed, and is with ache – you should see you Primary care Provider (PCP) or ER, to exclude thrombosis (clot in calf veins) … blood test and Doppler study are needed to rule it out
The nodule near the navel is unlikely to be related to it. That needs detailed examination. Any swelling must be seen by a surgeon – if inconclusive, biopsy is a must. Especially around the umbilicus, because the area of lymph drainage is not only from abdomen but also from axilla to groin!
Appropriate treatment demands accurate diagnosis / And that demands examination; probably investigation too; GET EXAMINED
The treating doctor alone could conclude better based on total clinical picture…
Good luck
God bless you
