Over the last week or so my ankles and feet have been extremely swollen!. Granted, I have sprained one recently, but nothing like this!. I don't think it's anything medically wrong, but just fluid retention!. How can I get that to go away!? Any serious suggestions would be most appreciated!Www@Answer-Health@Com
