What Does Swelling In The Stomach And Ankles Indicate?

Hi I have gall stones and awaiting an operation. I know swollen hard stomach loose motions and constipation and pain are part and parcel but I have also noticed slight swelling and pain in my left ankle , the skin is also a blue greyish colour. I was wondering if it was connected to the gall stones. I have also been told that I have a cyst on my liver. Is this some thing to worry about?

Hello,

The abdomen symptoms of swelling stomach, altered digestion issues indicate gall stone issues.

But the ankle swelling does not relate with the gall stones. If unilateral, then condition of bursa cyst is most likely and if bilateral, then systemic causes have to be ruled out.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
