Is Swelling In The Ankles And Foot A Matter Of Concern?

I have swelling in one foot and ankle. It happens mostly when it is hot outside, like it is in Texas, but sometimes when it is not hot, but rarely. Is this a medical problem that must of concern? I thought this site was for some immediate answers, not to have to pay for the privilege. You are just a scam and not legit!!!!

Ankle edema or swelling can happen due to many causes including long standing hypertension or it can also happen after trauma which will lead to contusion and later lead to ankle swelling.

As of now, consult a physician and get evaluated.
