not very related. Vitamin D the drug nor the deficiency relates to swollen ankles. Heart, liver, lung, or kidney disease can cause swollen ankles. If the liver or kidney are SEVERELY damaged they won't make vitamin D from dietary form to the form that works. BUT, you would have a LOT of other symptoms if your kidney or liver were truly FAILING.
