Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Ankles Swollen, Painful, Veins Dark. Relief With Advil. Toe Nails Have Black Strips. Cause?
My ankles are very swollen and I have difficulty and pain in the morning to support my weight , I weigh approx.140lbs. I take advils to help with the pain, it has been two weeks and it is still very swollen, some veins are dark , Also a few of my toe nails have a black stripe. I have not injured myself and don't know what is causing these symtoms. Can you tell me what might be going on ? I tried to go to the clinic today but it is closed until next week. Thank You.
