What Causes Recurrent Swelling On The Left Ankle?
I am experiencing periodic swelling of my left ankle but there is no accompanying pain, soreness or heat in the area and again limited to the left ankle. I am 68 years old, have never been sick except for some bouts with Bronchitis and in excellent health with good muscle tone. Do you have any suggestions?
