Swollen Ankle - Work Related?

[MsMaverick]

I have noticed that recently one of my ankles swells up a little. Now I am not panicked by this just curious if others have this also. It usually happens the days I work (sitting for 12 hrs.) so, duh, thats probably why. I try to get up and move around as often as possible, but I am at work and can't just wander aimlessly. Could also be that it is 100 degrees here!

Hi Miss, I have no idea how I missed this when you posted it so I am so sorry you never got a response....I just asked Chrissy about this today...but I found my self fibbing a little....since the very beginning I have had some mild swelling in my right ankle and a bit of my right foot as well. I was thinking today that maybe I had imagined the swelling and that maybe it was just a sensory thing making me feel like my foot was swelling....but I very much remember now that in the beginning that my right shoe started fitting way more snug then it ever has and the foot and ankle do appear to be a bit puffy looking and feeling....I have no explanation for this one, but I am seeing a new doc tomorrow and do plan on asking him about this because this is still an issue for me...I will be sure to let you know what he says if you like.Take careRobynn )

Hi miss, my feet swell up if I'm on them for long periods of time and also if it's hot, not sure if it's the bfs or IRS just the way my body is....it's actually pretty common...

You know what....it's so weird. Yesterday we were talking about it and today -I promise and swear!!!honestly- my right ancle is swollen. It is the one that I have most problems with, it feels often stiff and makes noises when I move it. And now it doesn't only feel swollen, it really is. I have really very slim ancles and wrists and the bones at the ancle tend to stick out really a lot, and noe my right ancle has somehow disappearden under the swelling.It doesn't hurt though...it it just swollen and makes popping noises ach time I move it...

I have issues with my right ankle as well. It pops and locks up on my all the time. It also swells if I go for a long walk or am standing for any length of time. I've had it checked out by both the GP and my chiropractor, and they both agree I have severe tendonitis and am going to have a cortisone injection in it to alleviate some of the swelling. I'm not sure if it's due to the strange way I bear weight as a result of my scoliosis or if it's just...YUCK...the normal aging process and a little arthritis thrown in. ~Frances
