Hi There
I read your problem carefully. Being diabetic , Hypertensive and high cholesterol level you are prone to develop Gangrene and impaired oxygen to the ankle part that can be re
on for ankle pain.
some of Anti-hypertensive drugs also cause swollen ankles. For this you need to check with your physician as you don't have mentioned detail of Your medicines.
Gout is itself a reason for ankle pain so get your levels of uric acid checked and adjust dose for Gout medicine.
wish You Good Luck
