hi i appreciate ur concern for ankle and knee problems.swelling in the ankles may be due to fluid accomolated in and around tissues of ankles,due to gravity,weakness of leg muscles to pump the fluid up,and or weakness in the valves of leg veins.your kidney functions need to be evaluated as because of age factor as well as prostate problem in the past.similarly knees also needs to be checked for any degenerative changes and of calcium metabolism changes.you need to consult your ortho specialist for evaluations and further advices accordingly.thanks. i will be happy to answer any further quary.
