[|Human|] Hello, my name is Christina. I had a hysterectomy last Friday. My ankles were feeling a little swollen, but now, today, I woke up to MAJOR CANKLES!! It looks horrible and when I stretch them up, there s creases!!!! What s going on??? I want to cry. : (
[|AI|]  I have studied your case. Swelling in foot and ankle c can be due to following reasons.1. Diabetes2. High blood pressure3. Blood thinner medicines.4. Thrombus in veins if you are having one of anything mentioned above then it explains swelling. I would suggest you to get Doppler examination of the ankle and calf. I hope you are walking as bed rest can also use such swelling. Till then, you can apply compression bandage and do calf stretching exercises. I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks
