Causes of Swollen Ankles
Ankles may get swollen due to many reasons. The main causes behind swollen ankles are trauma, injury to ankle, sprained ankle, venous insufficiency, lymph edema (from improper functioning of lymphatic system), arthritis, heart disease (congestive heart failure), kidney disease, liver disease, infection, tumour, certain medications including calcium channel blockers, steroids, and antidepressants.
Homeopathic Treatment for Swollen Ankles
Homeopathic treatment follows a process of detailed investigation to manage the complaint of swollen ankles. Each case is investigated and analysed in depth prior to prescribing a medicine to rule out involvement of any vital organ in the etiology. Swollen ankles from injury, sprains and arthritis can be independently dealt with by Homeopathic medicines. In case a vital organ is involved, Homeopathic medicines can be used to support treatment together with other systems of medicine. Homeopathic medicines for swollen ankle should be taken only after consulting a physician. Self-medication should be avoided.

Dear Dr.San. Next month I will enter 79th, but right now I feel as if I am 97! Always my feet were getting puffy, especially in the evenings. Warm salt water used to give some relief. Used to take walks even. Two months back the swelling was too much, even upto the knee-joint. Weight was up by 3.7 kg. I was asked to get the renal function test. Too expensive, but results were ok. I was treated by an Ayur.Dr. In about 10 days I lost 3.5 kg and we felt I must have got rid of 3.5 litres of water! Then my bp went down to 90/60. Dr. said it could be because of Ayur meds. I stopped my bp meds. Even now the bp is 108/70. Swelling came up again and the same meds were taken. In the mean time my Asthma reappeared and along With budamate puffs (400 each, twice).
Presently my feet are showing signs of edema again. I was taking Ledum for about 6 months last year. Also I have varicose veins with morn & eve itches upto kneejoints & lower arms. Graphite is giving some relief. Pl guide me.

Dr.Sharma garu,
Namasthe. My father is 80 years old. He has swollen angles and feet , left is more than right. Hopefully it is edema. I have tried with Apis, But very slight relief. If he keeps his feet on elevated posture, It will be o.k. Otherwise once again normal bulky feet. He is a diabetic and hypertension patient, with acidity as an addtitional disease and frequent loose motions. Pl. suggest remedies for the above with main focus on swelling of feet.
