What Causes Severe Swelling And Pain In Ankle/lower Leg?
My son age 49 has experienced severe swelling and pain in ankle/lower leg for couple years. It now is also in his elbow with swelling, pain and warm feeling. He also has high blood pressure . Any suggestions. His Dr does not know what is causing problem. Did give cortisone shot and helped for short time. (Couple months ago)

Hi
if he is having pain with swelling multiple joints. If morning stiffness is there or not. Any fever or pain is migratory..these things should be answered because information is incomplete. It can be arthritis, synovitis or any other problem. Proper history and tests are essential to cure the condition. You can consult your local doctor if required.
Thanks
