Painful ankle?

Hi, 4 weeks after my last chemo and my left ankle is really painful, my foot is a little red and slightly swollen. Both feel have a little neuropathy but nothing too bad. Has anyone any ideas?

Keep an eye on it Lisa,

Probably nothing to worry about,but if it continues to swell or feel hot maybe take yourself to A and E,I was told to keep an eye out in case of blood clots,I'm no nurse,but you can always talk to one here and one of the other ladies will probably help more than me.

Lots of love

I wondered about a clot? Might be worth ringing your CNS? I had an arterial clot on my wrist with symptoms like that, but it was a site where a line had been put in.

Hi

I agree, think you should get it checked to rule out a clot.

Hope all goes well. Sending hugs 🤗

Get it checked out as redness could indicate infection.If you have neoropathy you might have had some skin damage without noticing and infection can creep in .Im not an expert but have had several problems with feet and lower legs .They usually check for clots and infection.draw a line round redness to check if it is spreading.Good luck.

Hope by now you have sought attention, it could be a dvt or cellulitis maybe you hit it against something. Better to be sure though all the best
