Swollen in ankle of right leg. Issues.

Ankle swelling or leg and foot swelling (Pedal edema) due to cardiac, renal or liver diseases is usually bilateral i.e in both legs/feet/ ankles. Swelling (pedal edema) on just one side may be due to local trauma/injury, cyst, venous causes, DVT, infection,etc. I am sure your treating orthopaedician must have ruled out these differentials. ( In Infection there may be some redness over the swelling/ warmth over the swelling/ discharge/ pus/ sinus/ fever/ tachycardia, etc In DVT there may be tenderness over the calf,history of long travel or prolonged immobilisation/ history of blood disorders, etc) From the clinical photo provided it looks more like a bursitis or a cyst.

Looking at the age its always better to get a routine check up done by a physician(M.D Medicine) For the ankle swelling: Rest, ice fomentation, elevation with 2-3 pillows. Crepe bandage may be used while walking or standing but care must be taken that it's not too tight or not applied for too long. If no improvement in 2 week- USG Right ankle
