Swollen ankles

[Cb1963]

I've noticed today my feet have swollen up, I've had a tight calf muscle for a couple of weeks, and my feet feel " puffy "the skin feels tight and can't see my ankle bones anymore, any idea what is causing this ? Thanks in advance for any input 👍

Hey thanks for your swift reply, I have peripheral neuropathy already, but never had any swelling before, boy I hate getting old, I'm still living in Peter pan world 😂 I just crack on with life but seems my body is not playing ball, and go on tell me what you rant was going to be? Nothing like a good old moan, and getting things of your chest 👍

Ah I well I'd be singing afro- man and getting high, 😺

Hi CB. It could be a salt problem or hopefully not but diabetes maybe or water retention. Definitely have it looked at soon as you don't want to wait on something like that because you're having calf problems now which could be problems with blood flow. Let us know how you make out after you get it checked out. Wishing you well soon

Thanks for your reply 👍 I'll see what they're like in the morning after some sleep, never had anything like this before , it feels strange trying to walk with swollen ankles , boy it's annoying getting ailments as you get older, catch up with you again ☺️

Sounds like you need a trip to the Dr

I just got off gaba for that very reason. Check your meds, it could be a side effect.

Side effect of the blood pressure med Amlodopine?

[Cb1963 in reply to Jeff1943]

Don't take any blood pressure tablets, I'll just have to keep an eye out over the weekend 👍

Hi Cb1963 my first thought was the same as Cookie 2217, fluid retention. You got some

good "could be's" as to what is causing it. However Dolphin14, hits it on the nail.

"Sounds like you need a trip to the doctor"....

Keep that Peter Pan attitude Cb. Let us know how you make out. xx

Yes I would agree with the others- worth getting it checked out.

This could be from a serious condition. You should go have it checked as soon as possible! I'm not going to speculate what it could be, but none are really pleasant if you let it go without treatment.

Good luck, and please, don't tarry too long!

This should be checked out by a doctor.
