    Re: Swollen ankles (NOT pregnant) any ideas?

    Oh no the dr def should have checked your blood pressure! I get very swollen too it hasn't stopped since I had dd. Like u it gets worse as the day progresses. My BP is borderline but I think I have some vein damage my dr is still checking things out.
    I hope they find the cause soon and it's all ok!!!

    No real ideas what it could be, but just with the tingling - I think this would be directly related to the swelling, not so much a symptom of nerve irritation? I know when I get fluid retention I sometimes get tingling, I think it's a circulatory thing?
    Mine is mostly from not drinking enough water or sitting/ standing too long.
    Hope you get some answers soon

    i would have said high blood pressure may be the cause, go to a chemist today as most can do blood pressure checks there for you hope its nothing serious

    Thanks for all your hugs darlings. Well wadaya know, my ankles are so much better this evening after being quite bad a lunch time? I don't get it? Now I'll turn up at the Drs tomorrow and he won't be able to find a thing wrong with me. I know I shouldn't complain about that but I need answers!!!

    My sister has had kidney trouble in the past and her feet swelling was always the first sign. Even if its not too bad I would still go to the dr tomorrow, just in case! Better to be safe I say
    Hopefully your dr can't find anything wrong

    Well, isn't that always the way...
    make sure you get the doctor to check out all possibilities & not just fob you off because it's better.
    I hope you get some answers
