Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Leg And Ankle

I am significantly overweight, but my ankles, feet and legs below the knee are all incredibly swollen. I can understand if this is weight related but i often see many very overweight people whose feet and ankles are not inflated at all. Mine are ridiculous.
