Swollen feet, more towards the ankles though?!
Question: Swollen feet, more towards the ankles though.?
In the past week I have been walking an extreme amount more than usual, about 6 miles a day. I am overweight and no health issues besides being overweight. One ankle I twisted before the trip so it pretty much stayed swollen the entire trip, but now the other one is too.. I dont know if I unconciously put more pressure on that foot or not. Could this be water retention or......? I forgot to mention I dont elevate them at night but in the mornings they look perfectly normal sized..it just when I get up and out for the day....thanks!Health Question & Answer

Sounds like ankle edema to me since it fades when you rest for long periods of time horizontally.
