Swollen ankle

Bit of background: I'm 3 weeks post chemo for breast cancer and just over half way through radiotherapy.

During chemo treatment just before Christmas my GP prescribed me Mirtazapine to help with night sweats/sleep ( they weren't for depression) a few days later my right ankle was very painful, swollen and hard to walk on. I had it checked for a clot at the hospital but all was clear. Thought nothing of it but over the past month I've become aware of both my ankles/feet being swollen, with the right one particularly painful. I've since read that Mirtazapine can cause oedema.

I stopped taking the Mirtazapine about 10 days ago as I'm convinced they've made my feet & ankles swell, I've gained weight and I was fed up of waking up groggy.

Last night my foot kept me awake. I've tried raising it when I'm sitting, walking etc. never had this before
