What Causes Ankle Swelling Post A Foot Surgery?
My ankles are swelling. I had foot surgery, but non surgical ankle is more swollen. Could it be from using it more while using knee walker? I found out right before surgery that I need to see a cardiologist because I am in and out of arterial fibulatiion. (sorry about spelling)
