What Causes Persistent Swelling And Pain Under The Ankle Bone?

I have swelling just under the ankle bone that won t go a way. I ve had this for a month since we flew on a plane for 10 hours. While cruising my feet swelled as well. I just think it should have gone away by now. Instead I m developing mild aching in the area.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the ankle swelling then it could be due to arthritis condition, better try to keep the leg in elevated position, and Tab Diclofenac 50 mg once in day can be used, some time steroid can be used for better result but it need to be given under medical supervision after clinical diagnosis hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful

Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if the swelling is due to sitting position then it will come around by keeping leg in elevated position, and if this is due to arthritis condition then you need to try Tab Diclofenac 50 mg once in day hope this information helps.
