My ankles keep swelling what can i do?

See a doctor: As ankle swelling can be a sign or manifesttion of other things such as high blood pressure or kidney problems. More commonly it is from standing for long periods and incompetent valves in veins. This can be examined or looked at as well. Sometimes, compression knee high socks are helpful if the latter is the cause.

See your doctor: If both of your ankles swell and there is no activity or pain it is usually due to fluid retention. Your doctor needs to evaluate you the reason you are retaining fluid.

Many possibilites: Some causes of swelling of the ankles can include systemic problems such as hypertension, gout, and problems with the kidneys and localized issues such as arthritis, infection, lymphatic obstruction, blood clots, varicose veins, trauma (fracture, sprain, and tendonitis) and side effects to medication. Have it evaluated by a professional and get the appropriate treatment.
