Swollen ankles and feet can be painful, and are common for those with diabetes. Standing or walking for long periods of time can cause an abnormal fluid buildup in the ankles, feet and legs â especially among older adults. Here are some tips that may help. Elevate your legs.
Swollen ankles occur when fluid is retained in the spaces between our cells. This fluid buildup can have a number of different causes, most notably insufficiency of the venus system, water retention secondary to heart, kidney, liver, or endocrine disease, as well as local musculoskeletal issues such as trauma, infections, or tumors. All of these can cause swollen ankles. Pregnant women deal with swollen ankles on a daily basis due to weight gain and water retention. Waiters and waitresses also deal with swollen ankles after standing and walking for long periods.
