What Causes Swollen Ankles In Warm Weather?

as well. Your comments would be appreciated.
Most likely vein problem, also heart issue possible
Detailed Answer:
Dear patient,
your description of swollen legs in warm weather would most likely fit a problem with your veins, like varicose or vein insufficiency. This is best to be ruled out by ultrasound of the veins, which i would do if you were my patient.
Also an underlying heart condition needs to be ruled out though since that can add to it, i would check that with EKG and possibly heart ultrasound. After testing it is possible to get diuretics prescribed to give you some relief.
The numbness can be an additional nerve problem, which could be associated with diabetes, which i would usually have tested with a standardized tuning fork vibration test, which a gp or neurologist could do.
Hope this is helping you , if you have any clarifications you can get back to me, if this was helpful please kindly rate my answer. Best regards
