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.
