What Could Cause Swelling In The Ankle After Having Steamed Crabs?
I had 2 dozen of steamed whole crabs over the weekend. Monday at work my left ankle started to swell. It has been swollen for 4 days now. What could this be? I do not have a history of heart problems. I am 58 years old, female. I am overweight for my height, about 30 pounds overweight. Thank you,

Hi,
It may not be related to crabs because allergic reactions manifest with itching and discomfort and foot swelling alone is not a common presentation. If the swelling persists, you can consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
