SWOLLEN FEET & ANKLES

Swollen Feet & Ankles

Many times the swelling will subside after being off your feet for a while. Yet some people experience consistent trouble with swollen feet and ankles, which is often a sign of more serious health conditions. Foot and ankle swelling is also referred to as peripheral edema, which means the build-up of fluid in the foot and ankle. The fluid itself is not normally painful unless it is caused by an injury, but the swelling can be uncomfortable and hinder proper range of motion and preventing you from walking normally.
