Hi. i have a swollen ankle and when i press my thumb against my leg an indentation remains. my gp sent blood for tests which came back clear.

Many things: Can cause a swollen ankle but one of the most dangerous is a blood clot in that same thigh or calf muscle. Return to your PCP and discus. A simple sonogram of the leg can rule this out.
