How to get rid of swollen ankles ?

RICE: Rest, ice, compress and elevate. However, must find out what is causing the swelling in your ankles first.

Find the cause 1st: There may be easy treatments for swollen ankles. However, the more important question is why are your ankles swollen. I would recommend that you be seen by an orthopedic foot and ankle surgeon if your primary care physician cannot find the cause of the swollen ankles. Find one at aofas.Org.
