My ankles have been swollen. My p/t had me go to my internist to make sure everything was okl They did an ekg and a sonogram. Everything turned out ok. I guess it's from the heat.

It might well be the time of year, especially if you live in a hot climate. I wonder whether or not you take a dopamine agonist? Of the 9 yrs since dx I suffered swollen extremities most of the time due, it was found, to taking 16mg Requip daily. I've titrated down to 8mg & now I'm fine. I also take Sinemet.
