Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

     The cause of ankle swelling is not clear. It could be from the dru – Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs (NSAID) given for pain are well known. Serum albumin and kidney function need to be tested...
     Why should the ankle pulse be weak? You need Doppler study of leg arteries and veins to evaluate.
     There are different preparations and release formulations of Iron, which may not irritate the stomach..
     Weight is like bank account / The amount in your account comes down when you withdraw more (physical work) and you deposit less (eat less). If the weight is picking up, it only means – the exercise is not enough / the food is more / or both.... See a good dietician - you have to reduce the quantity of your food and change the quality too. You need regular exercise.

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
