Swollen Ankles
11 Answers
about 6 months ago - my right ankle began to swell at about 8pm - for about a week or two. then it died down - the swelling.
now this past few nights left ankle is swelling - ie like a very tight sock on it.
not painful - but just wondering what it would be as I do have slim ankles and always did

For example, my dad's swollen ankles were as a result of heart problems (due to his overfondness for beer), whereas my swollen legs are the result of damage to my lymph nodes from cancer. Totally unrelated to that, I've previously had a swollen ankle as the result of an infection getting into the tissue, resulting in cellulitis. So there's definitely no single answer to your question!
If the problem persists, consult your GP to find out what's behind it.
