Question: What can swelling of just one foot/ankle mean!? I have no pain or abrasions, etc!.
This is kind of weird!.!.!.I mean, my feet are slightly swollen due to warm weather and overweight but this is JUST my right foot and ankle that is really puffed up!. I have Osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia but have never been prone to fluid retention and I don't have high blood pressure!. Seems like this foot gets a little tingly too!.!.!.circulatory maybe!? I am puzzled and a little anxious and will make an appointment with the clinic if it persists!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Do you eat a lot of salty foods!? Salt causes our bodies to retain fluids!.

Ask your doctor to check your glucose to see if you are developing type 2 diabetes!.

Whatever it may be, have a doctor check it out!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You may have accidentally, and without noticing, twisted your foot so that you actually walk on its inside or outside!. You may have inflammation only in that one foot!.!.!.and it will go away in time!. Is it painful!? If it's tingly, it could mean that your blood is naturally responding to the inflammation and trying to heal it!. I would put some ice on it for 10 minutes at a time, 20 minutes off, for a few days!. If it's not been in 3 days, I would see a doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
