What is ur age n since when are u having this problem. Ankle swelling generally occurs because of an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the tissues of the lower extremity. Common causes of leg swelling include idiopathic Edema (Swelling of Unknown Cause), overweight, Is older, salt retention, cellulitis, congestive heart failure, venous insufficiency, pregnancy, and medication side effects. Some tips that may help reduce swelling: 1. Put your legs on pillows to raise them above your heart while lying down. 2. Exercise your legs. This helps pump fluid from your legs back to your heart. 3. Follow a low-salt diet, which may reduce fluid buildup and swelling. 4. Wear support stockings (sold at most drugstores and medical supply stores). 5. When traveling, take breaks often to stand up and move around. 6. Avoid wearing tight clothing or garters around your thighs. 7. Lose weight if you need to.

Hi Lybrate user. This swelling may be due to prolonged upright posture. There is a huge list of cause of swelling. But few are - hypoproteinemia, anemia, heart disease, thyroid disease, kidney disease, liver disease. Adrenal cause, etc. From history, examination and investigation we can reach near to diagnosis. You told that live and renal are ok. But still more options which should be excluded. Thank you.
