Anyone else have swelling issues with this meno problem? It's only one ankle..not the other. Strange.

    I often have both my ankles aching and swollen. I cannot really see them different or swollen. But they feel swollen and very painful. I beg my husband to massage them.and it helps if he is not too tired.

    When I was working, I would be on my feet all day. My ankles were always swollen. Since I have been unable to work, my ankles are much better. I don't want to give advice not knowing the exact cause of your issue, but I recently was reading about low progesterone and it mentioned swelling as a symptom. Many women believe they are low on estrogen during perimenopause. The more I read, the more I am inclined to think it is progesterone that is the culprit. I once read the analogy, "estrogen is like growing grass and progesterone is the lawn mower." Apparently, if you don't mow the grass, lots of nasty side effects.

    yep...thought it was heart related but nope. Doesn't happen all the rime or as much when i walk regularly and stay hydrated. Also notice it right before a period....which could be anytime or whenever...cant keep up anymore. Then i turned my other ankle and ended up ia boot for 3 months so now i have two swollen ankles. Such a sexy look...
