Edema = Swelling around the lower legs, ankles, and feet which is caused by retained fluid... commonly seen in older people with heart failure... although it can happen to young people for other reasons.
Edema is not the same thing as "cankles"
Edema is a swelling that came about in a leg that was otherwise normal... it may go away with elevating the legs, so that the fluid can return to the heart... it may indent when pressed on with your fingers... this is called "pitting".
I do not believe you have edema by the way you describe it...
When people refer to calves as "cankles", they are talking about legs that are fattier and bulkier than those slender ballarina type legs/ankles... If you have "cankles" you will always have them... but they may inprove with a really good workout program... Even though you are already slender to begin with... its just the way you were made.. its in your genes... Ive known alot of "skinny" girls with wide ankles/calves... I myself, was always on the medium side... I was never a skinny minnie... but I was not obese... But I had chunky legs and ankles... I still have fat ankles...
I learned not to obsess about it... no one has ever said anything to me... but I look at them and know I dont like them... The key is to change the way you think about it... I don't let my ankles bother me so they are no longer a problem... I just accept what god gave me.
love yourself for who you are. don't be ashamed
You may have edema. Go to a doctor and get a checkup.
how old are you?? it's probably something you need to speak with your doctor about. it could be nothing, but it could also have to do with your heart or kidneys among other problems. you need a checkup.
its a circulation problem there are special leggings that you could wear
