WASCO, OREGON. PRESERVING THE PAST, POWERING THE FUTURE. The City of Wasco, Oregon is situated in the gently rolling hills of the Mid-Columbia Plateau, eight miles south of the Columbia River and centered between the Deschutes River and the John Day River. Just a stone's throw from the Oregon Trail, Wasco was settled by ranchers, wheat farmers and merchants.
Swollen ankles and swollen feet can be caused by a variety of things such as pregnancy, medications, diseases (congestive heart failure, diabetes). Treatment depends on the cause.
Ankles can be swollen because of increased pressure in the veins or lymphatics. You can tell the difference between the two because blockage of the veins causes pitting oedema (i.e. if you press the skin with your thumb for a few seconds it leaves a clear imprint) whereas lymphoedema does not.
