From your: description it sounds like you have a vascular problem in that leg. Ask for a referral to a vascular surgeon for evaluation.

Varies: Fluid retention can cause swelling in both ankles and can potentially respond to using a water pill. Swelling in one extremity usually suggests something abnormal from the extremity itself. Possible causes can include vascular, inflammatory, arthritic, or traumatic causes. Discuss with your doctor.
