What's with my ankle?!
Question: What's with my ankle!?
My left ankle is sore when not being touched and hurts like a bruise when touched!. It's more like tissue damage rather than in the joint!. I haven't done anything to it but it's swollen (not a lot but it is bigger than my other ankle) and it's been like that for about 4 days!.
I'm 3 months pregnant- and I'm pretty sure the 2 are not connected!. It's not my diet because both ankles would be swollen if it were water retention!.!.!. and Water retention doesn't hurt!.- been there- done that!.
Anyone have suggestions!? Should I schedule a Doc's appt!? Any good links to check out!?
I'm normally not a worrier and I don't know why but I'm paranoid that it could be something more than just an injury (mostly because I didn't injure it)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You could have sprained your ankle and not noticed it!. Those are the exact symptoms of a sprained ankle!. If it continues to hurt, see a doctor!. However, they'll just give you a brace!.!.!. and tell you to take advil!. Also, it's normal for things to swell during pregnancy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Definitely schedule a doctor's appointment!. You could have a stress fracture, cellulitis or a number of things that can be treated!. You don't want to take the chance that you have an infection that could be transmitted to your unborn baby!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
i'd recommend an X-ray!. My brother had a simular pain and it turned out to be the bone on an iregular growth course!. And it shoudln't be linked to your pregnancy!.
Another simple problem could be the show you're wearing!.
Good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

It sounds like one of two things!. I have arthritis that affects my fingers and my feet!. The fingers get swollen, the hand used to but I seem to have that down over the years now!. I still have the feet and ankles swell though!.It can be sore as the pressure from the fluid builds up then!. Either that or when you are pregnant, you can have swelling in your feet and ankles!.I had it SO bad when expecting my daughter I had to keep my feet up as it was a toxemia risk then I was told!. I also would not want to ignore that as there is something to get checked!.
Try putting your feet up and see if the swelling goes down!. Elevate them for a while and see if that helps with the pain too!.IF so, then that can be pregnancy related!. The arthritis type of fluid build up is there regardless and doesn't decrease in resting your feet any!. I would ask the dr!. about this in the next appt!. you have!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
