Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Ankle
I am female, 43 years old. I drink beer heavily daily. I weight approx 130. 5 2 . This past week my ankles and feet are seriously swollen and it hurts a little when I walk. i ve also been craving sugary stuff which is not something normal for me. It is both feet and both ankles. I m sure it isn t a break. I thought it was just from a 5 mile walk I took while on vacation in Chicago last week.

Dear Patient
You are a heavy drinker, and this can cause chronic liver disease, which cause swelling on the feets, moreover you have history of straining on long walk, this could exagerrate the already compromised system and cause severe swelling.
The path you need to follow now is to first get X Rays done, if no injury get you renal hepatic function tests along with total proteins,
what is the status of you liver, that should be our main concern now.s
