Hi All,

Over the past few days my ankles are becoming swollen. Right now it looks like I have strained them both!! A few weeks back my wrists/hands started swelling but seem to not be getting any worse..

I am a bit worried that this is the beginning of PE. At my last checkup my blood pressure had gone up from 120/60 to 130/70 but my doc didnt seem too concerned and just told me to put my feet up for 30 mins at the end of each day.

I have been doing this, but I dont really like the feeling of having my legs elevated for so long!

I've read over past threads and everyone says that increasing water, massage, exercise, reduce salt intake would help. I've been drinking water, exercising and all that since day one, so its nothing new to me. But the first time I noticed my swollen ankles was after I went for a 30min walk with my dogs. Would a walk make my ankles worse? What else can be done to try and minimise ankle swelling?
