What Causes Swelling In The Ankle?
I noticed my right ankle was very swollen for no reason I could think of. the swelling went down but now I started noticing my right foot was very painful to stand on. I bought some shoe in-soles that have extra padding and that semed to help me a bit. Now this morning I awoke and my ankle was swollen again and the sole of my foot was throbbing.

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to rheumatoid arthritis. I suggest doing some examinations for further evaluation. I suggest a complete blood count, rheumatoid factor level, and ESR level.
Meanwhile, I suggest using anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen three times a day to relieve the swelling and pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
