What Causes Swelling And Redness Around The Ankles?
Yes, I have, I think, different problems with my feet - I do have neorpathy (sp) and my feet swell along with redness around my ankles - I did have a fracture once on my right foot and now it still bothers me, gets red and I get a red line up my foot into my leg. What could it be? Thank you.

Hello,
It may be due to blunt trauma or Contusion injury.
For further assessment, you may require X-ray of that affected ankle joint after orthopedician consultation.
For pain, you can take tablet acetaminophen.
Use ankle cap.
Use support while walking.
Take proper rest.
Restrict your movements.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
