Foot has swelled up near ankle
Hi all I could do with some advice as you know I've been having problems and i am waiting on a appointment with rheumatology I've just took my sock off and near to my heel and ankle it has swollen up
Do i just elevate it or do i need to put maybe a cold or hot compress on it?

Both cold compress and elevate is my opinion @Jewels
I hope it eases off for you soon. I also take my anti-inflams when mine swell up. Hope the appointment comes through soon.

It could be a symptom of other conditions, so have a talk to your GP or NHS 111.

Thanks for the advice @frogmorton and also @CCM I was at my gp yesterday to get my scan results on my shoulder it's come back as oa starting there now and he written a letter to rheumatology as there's a 40 week wait to get them to see me quicker.The swelling has gone down a bit but heel is still really sore going to get a nice hot bath it's the only thing that takes all the aches and pains away for a while 🤞😁
