Hi I m a 35 year old female with problematic ankles. I always get swelling when I am near the ocean and my doctor told me this was normal and explained the reason why. I am in Florida on vaca right now and only my left ankle is swelling up really bad. This has never happened before. Could it still be due to being near the ocean? Why would just one ankle swell? What can I do to treat it?
Hello, I have studied your case, and It is not common to have swelling when you go near to sea. I would recommend you to get MRI of the ankle joint to see if there is any synovitis or loose body in the ankle.Also, I would recommend you to wear anklet or crape bandage in nighttime. Take Discern tablet one daily. I hope this will take care of your ankle swelling. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks
