Suggest Treatment For Severe Leg Pain

I have selling of both ankles and feet and as well both legs ache. I do have some diagnosed bulging discs in my cervical spine at C5 and C6. Could this all be related or are the leg aches and feet swelling different. I have had blood work and the only thing it has show is higher than average levels of inflammation.

Hello,
Thank you for using healthcaremagic.
I read your question and understood your concern.
I do not think that you ankle problem is related with the cervical spine bulging discs.
I think this is more of an inflammation so I would reccomend you to see a rheumatology specialist to give you proper medication with antiinflamatory drugs.
Also thyroid problems might give swelling of ankle and feet , so you should check the thyroid function with blood tests.
I wish you quick recovery.
