Hello,
I understand you are concerned about swelling in your ankles.
Tylenol does not cause swelling, so I would not consider this a possible cause.
There are many causes of swelling in both legs, including
blood clots, medications, heart and kidney problems. You are already on a blood thinner so a blood clot would be unlikely.
If you take any other medications I would look at those, especially if you take any medications for blood pressure like
amlodipine (Norvasc).
If you are having any
shortness of breath I would especially be concerned about your heart and would likely order an
ultrasound to make sure it is pumping like normal.
I would also check a urine test to make sure your kidneys were working normally.
You will likely need to see your doctor in order to get evaluated for this. I hope the cause can be found quickly and taken care of easily. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Aaron Branch, General & Family Physician
