What Causes Ankle Swelling, With Clots, Cardiac Issues, And Lupus Ruled Out?

I occasionally have rt ankle swelling. Past tests have eliminated clots, and heart problems. I do have some vericose type veins. I ve had gout in the past but take allopurinal for this. had nuclear and stress tests& those are negative. BC of slight elevations in platlette count even lupus has been ruled out. Am curious why this still occurs. - Wayne
