What Causes Swollen Ankles, Calves And Knees?
I have really bad swelling (appears to be water retention) in my ankles (swells beyond my shoe line), my calves are also swollen and my knees are very warm. My knees down to my ankles burn really badly. This has been happening for almost a full week. Everything goes down by in the morning but begins burning and swelling within about an hour of waking. Interestingly, I am a distance runner and do NOT swell while running.

Hello,
Thank you for using healthcaremagic.
I read your question and understood your concern.
It looks like this is a problem of poor venous blood circulation..It may be also a deep vain thrombosis or thrombophlebitis , so I suggest you to do an Doppler ultrasound for the blood vesels and blood test and see an angiology ( vascular ) specialist.
I wish you quick recovery.
