    Swollen ankles can be a sign of blood pressure/fluid balance/heart problems. I don't think he was a foot fetishist, just being thorough, as MummaMia said!

    hahahaha on the foot fetish!! I've been seeing my GP since I was 10 years old and I'm 32 now so he knows me well and the "foot fetish" suggestion made me giggle.

    I assumed swelling to but didn't think it would be an issue at 4 weeks.. He said my BP was good so who knows why he was checking it so early but yes he is thorough and why i continue to see him for anything important and why i have to wait 2.5 hrs to get in.. When you find a good Dr then you stick with them - he knows every broken bone and each injury I've had without having to look it up so that is saying something..

    Thanks for the feedback ladies..
