Default re swollen feet and ankles

Please let us know what your doctor says tomorrow..

Last Sept I started having bilateral severe ankle pain that traveled up my calves and to my knees.. the ankles were bilaterally swollen tho minimally. The pain was excrutiating...

Being a long time lumbar spine patient I thought "this has got to be related to my spine".. and I waited it out nearly a month before going to the doctor only to find I had something known as "posterior tibeal tendonitis" bilaterally.

It was the bilateral aspect of the foot problem that had thrown me off plus the fact I've had knee and leg pain before attributed to my lumbar disc probs and even some foot pain.

So even tho what you are reporting could very well be related to your spinal problems and/or medications or something of that nature it's always best to rule out any medical problem that could be occuring.

Good luck and I hope it will easily remedied.
