Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you got swollen ankles and legs when go to duties involving long standing. It is work related i.e it occur due to long standing. Best method of treating it is you should avoid long standing . You should also investigate yourself for heart and kidney diseases by heart and kidney function tests to know for its cause. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
