6 Reasons Your Ankle Might Be Swollen
Ankle swelling can happen for several reasons, and understanding the cause is key to the right treatment. Here are six common reasons:
1️⃣ Injury or Sprain: A sudden twist or trauma can lead to swelling due to ligament damage.
2️⃣ Arthritis: Inflammation in the ankle joint, often from osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.
3️⃣ Infection: Skin or joint infections can cause redness and swelling.
4️⃣ Blood Clots: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) may result in a swollen, painful ankle.
5️⃣ Heart, Kidney, or Liver Issues: These conditions can cause fluid retention in the legs and ankles.
6️⃣ Long Standing or Sitting: Poor circulation from prolonged inactivity can lead to swelling.
💡 If you’re unsure about the cause or the swelling persists, consult a specialist to avoid complications.
