I've noticed over the past year that my ankles have been swelling more often than usual. It's particularly bad in this hot weather. My job is mostly desk based and I try to get out for a 4-5km lunchtime walk most days but in this hot weather it's not so appealing.
Does anyone else get this? I have fairly crappy circulation at the best of times (varicose veins recently treated, for example) and it might just be a part of getting older (am mid 40s). But I don't remember my mum having this issue and I'm starting to wonder if I should see the GP.
They go back to normal overnight, I'm generally pretty healthy and fit, maybe a stone overweight but no health problems otherwise. I don't resemble an elephant (yet) but the puffiness is something I'd expect in someone much older!
