See your podiatrist.: Swollen feet and ganglion cysts are possibly two separate diagnoses. Swollen feet must be evaluated because they can have many causes including kidney and heart problems. If a ganglion cyst is painful it can be treated by removing the gel like fluid inside, but they often recur. A more definitive treatment is to remove them at the source, which is within a joint. This must be done with surgey.

Find the cause 1st: There may be many treatments for swollen feet. However, the more important question is why they are 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.
