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.

Water and gravity: Our bodies have a large amount of water needed to keep organs functioning. The vessels that carry the fluids are not perfect and they can leak. Also, our tissues have a certain amount of water to stay moist and pliable. Gravity works to pull the fluids down towards the feet even in healthy people. It will worsen as the day progresses. Treatment is compression socks/elevation. Avoid water pills.
