What causes swelling of the ankle that has no trauma?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Venous insufficiency: Swelling of the ankle without trauma is likely inability of the veins to pump blood back to the heart, as a result blood pools and the ankle swells. Use a compression stocking and see if the swelling reduces.
