What Does Swelling In The Ankles Indicate?
Yesterday I drove 894 miles. Didn t stop often to stretch. Tonight both of my ankles are very swollen and sore for about 6 inches up my legs. Should I be worried? Guess I am because of my brother s history with blood clots when he drove a long distance. I m 69 years old and otherwise in good shape and health.
