[|Human|] I have recently noticed that my outer ankles have a puffy round mound on each side that does not hurt. It feels soft, like a pocket of fluid. This is only a recent issue and I have not noticed it ever before. I am in good health otherwise, except for a sinus infection I ve had recently, and have walked 3 miles at a time with no breathing or other problems. I do sit at the computer for long periods at a time. I am a 62 year old female and the only regular medication I take is synthroid. What could be the cause and how should I proceed?
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for your query. There are numerous causes and conditions that produce swelling in the ankles. A few important causes are chronic venous insufficiency, Heart related issues, kidney disorders, liver problems, water retention etc. A thorough and detailed evaluation along with a few investigations are needed to establish the correct diagnosis. I suggest you to consult a General physician for further evaluation and management. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
