What Causes Pain And Swelling In Feet And Ankles?

I have osteoarthritis and Fibromyalgia. Lately I have been having pain in the top of my feet and ankles. I m also having swelling in my ankles. It is very painful for me to walk. I had blood work done very recently and no gout was shown. Any ideas as to causes of swelling and pain? Thanks, in advance, for any help.Trudy

There is possibility of ankle arthritis.
You may need to do X ray and blood investigation.
