Mine was yesterday. Due to heat, PMS and sitting all day. If it goes down overnight, it'll just be the heat. Mine always goes back to normal overnight.

Is it just one ankle or both?

Both a bit puffy but one is worse than the other

They shouldn't swell that much. Are you pregnant?

It isn't that hot. I really think you need to see your GP.

Second GP. It could be lymphoedema or blood pressure related but there are other possible causes and only a medically qualified person can tell you which it is.

Seen gp. Doesn't seem worried about it. Says it's a combination of heat and arthritis
