Avatar n tn Toy really require an in-person evaluation because there are serious problems that can cause such swelling. In the meantime, start on 2000 mg of vitamin C a day (2 grams), divided throughout the day, preferably on crystaline form (not tablets). Vitamin C is a mild diuretic.
Avatar n tn I have gained weight from a low (right after surgery) of 185 to my present 230. In the past month I have experience swelling in my ankles, so much so that it scared my wife when she saw them. So obviously, they have changed a bit recently. When they did the bypass they harvested the vein from my right leg using laproscopy, which I was gratefult for, and I have had numbness on the shin of that leg ever since.
615166 tn?1282303497 My feet, ankles and lower legs tend to swell most days, especially if I'm up on my feet all day (at work for example). But the doctor isn't concerned. I puff up all day and piddle all night. Perhaps it's just my old blood vessels aren't working as well as they used to. Don't have varicose veins so who knows? I follow a low sodium diet just because it's the smart thing to do. Also learned more about it when my Dad was diagnosed with heart failure. Wanted to support him.
Avatar n tn I woke up this morning with swelling in both of my feet and ankles. They were twice the size the normally are. My feet an ankles have never swollen like this before! I have had a tingling sensation in my left foot all day, especially when I walk. I haven't been on my feet hardly at all in the past four days, so I'm not really sure what could be causing this! Should I go to the emergency room?
Avatar n tn I also noticed both of my ankles (around the bone) was a little swollen when I got home. Today they are not as bad. I was wondering if swollen joints can be a symptom of lyme..I haven't heard much about it. I was also a little dizzy and slightly "out of it" that night. I must have walked a good 5 miles and my calfs were tight when I woke up this morning. I got a little sunburn on my legs and those areas tingled more than usual. Strange stuff!
Avatar f tn Periodically I've noticed a slight swelling in my feet and ankles, but it only happens after I have eaten tomatoes, tomatoe pasta etc. Can the swollen feet and ankles be the result of eating tomatoes?? Again the swelling only happens when I consume any product that has tomatoes, tomatoes paste etc...in it.
Avatar n tn My ankles are becomming increasingly swollen - no pain involved, just heaviness. They have gotten worse over this summer; however, when I visit sw Wisconsin, Hidden Valley area, when I stay a few days, my ankles become almost normal. I have also noticed a decrease when I spent a week up north in Ely, but home in Minneapolis, they swell daily quite badly. I have high blood pressure, take three meds.
Avatar n tn I definitely have obsessive compulsive disorder in as far as my health is concerned. Day before yesterday in the evening i thought my ankles looked swollen. Since then I've noticed that when i wake up in the morning, my ankles look somewhat skinnier than what they look like even an hour later. The rest of the day they remain the same, which is a little bitt puffier toward the front of the leg. My question is how can you tell if your ankles are swollen.
Avatar f tn I think its normal both my feet are swollen plus my ankles and i need to stay off mines for a while cause all i do is walk and I'm 33w,5d
Avatar f tn 17 weeks pregnant and I'm having swollen ankles. In the mornings they are normal,but by the evening they are a little swollen. Just wonder if that's normal this soon in my pregnancy.
Avatar f tn About a week ago I was hospitlaized for chest pains and swollen ankles. I had an echo and a cardio cath done to see if there were any blockages. To my surprise there was no blockages. the doctors placed me on meds for hypertention and gave me a water pill, I do not have the pain in my chest anymore but I still have the swelling in my ankles and it seems to be getting worse what could be going on?
1507909 tn?1313633804 Swelling is a common problem in pregnancy. There is something to keep in mind: Bolld clots. They are common in pregnancy & usually affect the LEFT leg. I think you should get checked. Swelling is always a problem. but I thought normal swelling happened to BOTH legs. not just one.
Avatar n tn i have a lump in both ankles, and a burning sensation and some pain in left one. incidentally i broke left foot last year. what could be the cause?
1278093 tn?1294320384 i'm a surgeon, so not really an option.... the pool did help decrease the swelling after work today, so i'll try to do that regularly after work.
Avatar f tn Last two days my ankles have swollen to twice thier size at work besides drinking lots of water through out the day and resting when I get home. What else should I do? Im 25 weeks, and sit in an office for work.
8110498 tn?1397344782 Think us pregnant women go through these phases and all we want is a little support and reassurance. Men just think we are being moody because that's in our nature regardless of pregnancy. Thank god us women are built for baring children. Can u imagine a heavily pregnant male with back ache , swollen ankles, mood swings, restless nights sleep. Jeese dont bare thinking about lol a cold and they think they are dying.
Avatar n tn Dear adofusgirlscoobers... in general when something is "not as usual as it used to", consultation to general practitioner in clinic (because it is related to your swelling ankles), or directly to a gynocologist (because the swelling ankles occure again in your period time). hopefully your worry becomes a new knowledge & solution to prepare all the things before it happen again. Well, some kind of recognizing our own phisical & health character.
Avatar f tn so ladies they say during pregnancy your ankles swell up but not mine I have noticed that only my toes have been swelling up and not my ankles is that suppose to happen I mean my toes look like balloons compared to how small my feet and ankles are right now plz help mommy in desperate need of answers t
408795 tn?1324935675 ve gotten a grip over it by drinking plenty of water and taking water pills, now just my left leg in swollen in a small area. Does anyone know if this is a symptom of HepC? Neither of the doctors I've seen have ever given me a straight answer on what it's from. much appreciation.
Avatar f tn I am 46 years old. For the last week or so my ankles have been very swollen. I have a rash, kinda looks like a razor rash, it hurts to the touch. Feels like bruising underneath but not discolored like a bruise would be. I dont have any insurance and it is hard to see a doc. Just wondering if anyone else ever had these symptoms. Oh, and in the morning when I get out of bed and walk my ankles feel like they are burning, on fire.
Avatar n tn Everything came back negative however, I started experiencing severe ankle pain in both ankles especially in the Achilles and bottoms of my feet. It's been several weeks of different doctors from cardio, general physician, heart doctors testing for various areas and all negative. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this after a colonoscopy or from the massive Miralax intake prior to the procedure?? Living on Advil.
Avatar f tn i'm 34 weeks and have been experiencing swollen ankles even in the morning when I wake up is this normal?
Avatar f tn Anyway, very swollen ankles are NOT good. Also you unsteadiness should not be taken too lightly. Call your doctor asap.
Avatar f tn I am 21 weeks and already getting realy swollen ankles! I work full time as a nurse so I'm on my feet a lot. My blood pressure is stable and in a good range. Anyone else suffering from this??
