Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Soreness In The Legs And Swelling In The Left Ankle?
Over the past couple of weeks, I have noticed unexplained soreness in both legs. I ve felt sore spots on the inside of both ankles, as well as the tops of my feet. Tonight I noticed painful swelling in both ankles. Both ankles feel tight and are swollen, however my left ankle is more swollen and more painful. I have not fallen or been doing any exercising.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Do you have varicose veins (dilated blood vessels near skin and thighs or legs)? If not you may need to get X-rays of ankles to look for treatments of rheumatoid arthritis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
