How Can Swelling And Discomfort In The Ankle Due To Edema Be Treated?
Recently every night I have some foot and ankle edema and pain and burning. I know I have diabetic neuropathy but never had the sudden onset of edema before. Not sure what to do to relieve swelling and discomfort. I elevate my legs and feet and take ibuprofen for pain. No effectiveness at all.

Hi,
Apply ice packs and apply compression bandages.
If symptoms persist better to get an MRI scan for further assessment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
