Swollen ankles: indicates a POSSIBLE circulation issue--a collection of fluid called edema. Please see your doctor. Peace and good health.

More info?: Is it both ankles or just one ? Did you injure your ankle ? How long has it been swelling ? Getting worse ? Any new meds? Have you had similar problems in the past ? If lasting more than a few days see your MD
