Suggest Remedy For Swelling And Edema In Right Ankle
Have been having swelling in right ankle and some pitted edema daily for the last few years. Sometimes elevation helps, sometimes not. I do a lot of sitting but I do get up about every hour to walk. I have had an abdominal/pelvic ultrasound but they didn t find anything. Was wondering if it could be a blood clot? No pain however when I flex or point my foot.
