Edema: The leg and ankle swelling indicates fluid leaking out of blood vessels and accumulating in the tissues.

Question 9

how to remove swelling in legs and ankles?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the cause: Swelling in the legs and ankles can have many causes, but one common cause is venous insufficiency, a disorder of the veins that results in an inefficient return of blood to the heart. It's not life or limb threatening typically, but can cause debilitating swelling of the legs. Consult with a vascular surgeon who can do a simple test for venous reflux. There are many different ways to treat this.

Question 10

i have excessive pain on the areas just above my ankles on the outside of my leg after i exercise. wondering what it is?

Sports medicine: It sounds like the area that is hurting is being stressed excessively during your exercise routine. I would first consider different shoes, more support in your footwear or modifying the type of exercise. I also recommend a consult with  a physician trained in sports medicine.
