A member asked:
What to do if i'm 67 years old, when i stand for longer than 10 minutes my knees go red and feel hot and my ankles swell?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ankle swelling: Swelling of the legs/ankles with prolonged standing may be a sign of venous insufficiency, where the veins don't allow the blood to return to the upper body. Support hose may help. Sometimes surgery is necessary.
