Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pain & swelling in ankle & feet. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like standing for prolonged periods of time , taking estrogen or testosterone , antidepressants or blood pressure medications , venous insufficiency , organ failure ,particularly in the heart, liver, or kidney or lymphedema . I would suggest you to consult general practitioner for proper examination and treatment .

For now lower your salt consumption, keep your legs elevated while lying down and do light exercises daily .
