why are my ankles swollen and how can i fix that
Swollen ankles and swollen feet can be caused by a variety of things such as pregnancy, medications, diseases (congestive heart failure, diabetes). Treatment depends on the cause.
Blood clots that form in the veins of the legs can stop the return flow of blood from the legs back up to the heart and cause swelling in the ankles and feet. Blood clots can be either superficial (occurring in the veins just beneath the skin), or deep (a condition known as deep vein thrombosis).
you have to ice them ice is the best way to reduce swelling. Quit eating any salt for a few days. Put your feet up level with your heart for at least 4 hours at a time at least 3 times during 24 hours. (or somehow keep your feet up 12 hours out of 24 including sleep.) Rub with epsom salt, which should draw the water out of your feet. If you have a water pill (diruetic) take one.
