What Causes Swelling And Blue Discoloration On The Ankles And Feet?
Yes, for the past month my feet and ankles have been swollen with a bluish, purplish color to my ankles, It started when I got a sunburn on my feet while vacationing in Florida. My feet and ankles swelled so bad I couldn t wear shoes. Now, I m concerned, since the swelling has gone down, but not away. Any ideas on what my problem could be? I m 67 and in pretty good health....I think!
