A member asked:
Why do my ankles swell up occasionally without any injuries?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your physician: This could be due to high blood pressure, kidney disorders, heart problems, or poor valve function in your veins. I would recommend seeing your primary care physician first and getting a complete check up.
