What Causes Swelling And Inflammation Around The Ankles?
Hello.. I am having problems with my ankles swelling. From about the middle of my shin down to my ankle is really red. I have mrsa and psoriasis.. I am not sure if either of these have anything to do with it or not. My blood pressure runs a little high.. Usually 136/100. I have been getting a little short of breath at times. Any suggestions on what this could be?
