What Casues Swelling In The Left Ankle?

My 30 year old son has swelling in his left ankle. He is in great health and exercises regularly. In the past 3 years, he has seen many doctors. He has had some type of vascular surgery done...compression hose....acupuncture...scans. Well he has grown very dispondent and depressed. Any new thoughts? Oh, there is no pain.
