Legs swollen at the ankle

2024-03-07 22:33:25
My legs are swollen big at the foot and ankle on both the legs. I traveled from out of country and was sitting for more than 30 hours. That made my legs swollen. Also, I had a family emergency and I had to stand for a day and a night. Didn't sit or rest for a while. So my legs are swollen at the ankle. I elevate my legs while sleeping and the swelling reduce in the morning when I wake up. Then during the day, it will swell again and ankle become big before end of the day. I didn't see any Dr yet. Does this requires any treatment? Keeps swelling like this for a month now. I have burning sensation on the foot. Swelling in the ankle on both leg. Do I need to ask for any scan or xray.

Ankle and feet swelling on long journeys are common, usually subsides with elevation of the limbs.It appear like dependent edema. However it's been there for a month,it's wise to consult with a general physician in your area first to do some investigations including blood and urine analysis to rule out anemia , thyroid,liver, kidney disorders.
