How To Treat The Itchy And The Swollen Ankles?

Hi, over the christmas period i have experienced itchiness all over my body, not too bad but just annoying. But today in this heat and being 112kg in weight both my ankles have swollen significantly. A few weeks ago i had my annual blood tests and noticed my ferratin level is 244 H. My husband and i have been married 8 yrs, and he has hep C. Could i be having liver problems? I am a registered nurse and maybe just being paranoid. Thanks Maxine.

YAP IF YOU ARE HAVING UNPROTECTED INTERCOURSE YOU MIGHT DEVELOP HEP C. BUT USUALLY IN 8 YEARS HEP C DON'T CAUSE LIVER DAMAGE.
GET YOURSELF TESTED FOR HEP C.
REGARDING ANKLE PROBLEM , DEAR YOU ARE 112 KG AND BEING A NURSE YOU STAND FOR LONG TIME.
REDUCE WEIGHT AND DON'T STAND FOR PROLONG DURATION.
GET WELL SOON.
