What Does Swelling Of Ankles After A Seizure Indicate?
Hi, 2months ago i had a grand mal seizure out of nowhere. Never had one before. Was having headaches before. Still having them every night but what i had the seizure my right ankle swelled something fierce. According to two witnesses did hit anything. I still have pain there 2 months later. I had mri and eeg came back with nothing. Anyways my legs gave out the other day and had that kinda out of conscience feeling. When i got home my right ankle had swelled up again. Any ideas?

Hello,
I recommend consulting with your attending physician and performing a right ankle X-ray study and inflammation tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR). There is no correlation between seizures and ankle swelling, unless you have sprained the ankle during the seizure.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
