What Causes Swelling Around Ankle Foot Area?

I did an endurance challenge at high altitude 3 days ago. At the last obstacle I fell on my shin good amount of scraping don t see any significant bruising. Have swelling mostly around the ankle foot area. No pain when walking in the ankle or shin was able to so a workout without pain. Treating with ice and elevation. Trying to stay off of it hasn t gotten worse or better in the last 24 hours. Any idea what could be going on?

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Causes of swelling around ankle foot area include chronic venous insufficiency, Heart related issues, kidney disorders, liver problems, water retention etc.

A thorough and detailed evaluation along with a few investigations are needed to establish the correct diagnosis.

I suggest you to consult a General physician for further evaluation and management.
