Second opinion: Swelling after cellulitis should be taken seriously. I suggest a second medical opinion and examination.

Venous insufficiency: "Cellulitis" often reflects venous insufficiency, which can also cause ankle swelling? Have you had ultrasound w reflux studies, which shows this problem? Venous insufficiency often easily fixed in Dr. office w local anesthesia. This may be key helping your swelling. Hope this helps
