Suggest Remedy For Swollen Ankles And Feet
My feet and ankles are consistently swollen. I have not been as active because I have a bad knee waiting for a partial knee replacement. BOTH feet and ankles are swollen. Moderate swelling but consistent. Are there any medications that produce swelling? thank you, Sharon

Dear patient
if both ankle and feet are swollen likely cause would be systemic like hypertension or renal pathology or liver problem with protein deficiency or varicose veins. Clinical Examination is must for diagnosis and you need to consult physician nearby you for detailed assessment. keep limb in elevated position and apply crepe bandage.
