Ankle swelling: Both legs or just one? Could be just fluid collection from standing if your protein is low, does it change with lying down with pillow under legs? have you had alot of salt? Other concerns include venous clot ( need sonogram) versus unrelated kidney injury - nephrotic syndrome or renal vein thombosis . Get urinalysis to check for protein in urine. Would f/u w/ doc
