Ankle Swelling

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hi, guys!😊 Have any of you experienced ankle swelling?? For the past couple of weeks my right ankle has been swollen and painful. It especially hurts, when I put weight on it. Is this a symptom of peri/menopause or something else?? Any suggestions for self-care and at home treatments would be greatly appreciated! Much love to you all!!❤️ Kim.

    Hi Kim Elaine,

    I have swollen ankles most days, but I am not sure if it's a peri symptom or just sitting at my desk all day (since I started working from home). I bought a footrest for underneath my desk and it seems to help with the swelling and also alleviates some of my back pain.

    Have you seen a doctor yet? Since your ankle hurts when you put weight on it, it might be something else, like a sports injury of some sort.

    Hope it gets better soon! 😃

      Hi, Dana! Thank you so much for your reply. I will try the footrest, as I work at a desk too. I plan on going to the doctor after Easter break. Maybe I can get some answers. Take care. Kim.
