Overuse swelling: This may be a manifestation of "overuse tendonitis depending on what type of excercise you have been doing. I suggest a universal pull -on open toe-open heel ankle support to be worn over an athletic sock. Continue aleve (naproxen) therapy and if not resolved in 7 days see an orhtopedic expert.
