What Do Swelling And Pain In The Ankles Indicate?

I have had a very eventful summer (hosting two baby showers and a wedding within six weeks of each other). My ankles started swelling I have had a lot of pain in the joint on top of the foot that connects the foot to the leg. Now Im noticing little pressure points in several areas of both feet. Today, I wore my compression socks and my feet still swelled! Im going to call the doctor tomorrow but thought I would see if I could find some answers tonight.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
You have overexerted your feet. That is the cause of the pain and swelling of the feet and ankle. What you really require is to Offload your feet, that is give as much rest as is possible to the feet. You please continue wearing the compression stockings. Warm compress to the swollen and painful area will help.
