Swollen Ankles

I had my surgery in April. My ankles, both are NOW deciding to swell daily. When I wake up in the mornings, the swelling has gone down, at night time, they are like balloons.

Has anyone else ever had this problem? I never had this before. I went to my PCP, blood-pressure is low, went to a Vascular Doc, no clogs.

What can it be from? I'd truly appreciate any input.

Thanks.

Re: Swollen Ankles

Hi:

I don't know what would be causing this, but please go back to your primary care doctor and tell him or her that this swelling is bothering you and you'd like to find out what's causing it and you'd like to have a treatment for it.

I hope it gets better soon.

Sue

Re: Swollen Ankles

Hi,
I think you should go back to your PCP and ask him to do blood work. It could be that you are not getting enough protein.
