Medical causes behind swollen ankles
First among these is chronic venous insufficiency. In this condition due to improper functioning of valves of veins of legs, there occurs pooling of blood in the lower legs and ankles.
Second is lymph edema occurring from improper functioning of lymphatic system. Next cause is arthritis i.e. inflammation of joints. DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is yet another cause in which a blood clot can form in the veins of legs. DVT is a serious condition needing immediate medical attention. Swollen ankles can also occur in cases of hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid). Further causes include cellulitis (bacterial infection of skin), heart disease (congestive heart failure), kidney disease, liver disease, infection or tumour.
My 88 year old mother has very, very swollen legs. They have been that way ever since she went to the hospital and was diagnosed with angioplasmois ( a tick born illness). She was taken off her blood thinner(xarelto) when she was in the hospital and no one told her to go back on it when she left. She went back to the hospital and they found blood clots. She is back on the xarelto, but the swelling hasn’t gone down. Are there any remedies that would help her?
I have severe swelling in both legs due to lack of activity during healing for a fractured ankle. The ankle is healed, but the edema will not resolve. I respond well to homeopathic remedies.

I am a 56 year old female and have rheumatoid arthritis. Suddenly from yesterday my anke bone is red inflammed and stinging pain is there
Respected dr Sharma i am 75 years old female.
I had osteo arthritis since more than 20 years.my knees were affected.i got my knees replaced and am very comfortable.but since four ,five years my ankles also started paining and sometimes it was very difficult to walk.but somehow i have been managing to walk with the ayurvedic treatment.there are spurs in the area around ankles.my question is can these spurs be dissolved with homeopathic medicine.
Dear Dr Sharma,
We have bone spurs in our family too, and I am looking into homeopathic remedies. At the moment I am reading the boook Musculo Skeleton Problems by Ian Watson. One of the things he suggests is rubbing the area with castor oil in the morning and evening. Do you think that works?
It is an interesting book and I have just started it. I got it from Helios in the UK.
I have bone spurs in my spine and I remember also my neck. Fortunately as I got older the muscles in my neck got stronger and the nerve impingement stopped.
My age is 62. I am male. I take medicine for BP. No other medicine I take regularly. My left ankle and left foot is swollen. Morning after getting out from bed tremendous pain when put my foot on floor. Some days left ankle pain become severe. slowly it get adjusted after walking in room to better condition. Both the thumbs become painful and catching any thing become difficult. Shoulder joint elbow joint is ok. Sometime needle piercing sensation in heels is felt.
