What Causes Swelling In The Ankles When Sitting?

I am 49 5 foot 9 weigh 210. I have scoliosis 60/40 curvature, I have marfans, for the past year I have had trouble sitting at my desk due to my ankles swell really bad to where I can hardly walk and red splotches pop out on my ankles and lower leg. I use to only get this when I sat at a desk or drove a car for long distance. Now it happens just when I go shopping. Recently it started an itching sensation but hurts to touch my skin. My lower leg with get so tight it hurts and walking is really painful.
