My left ankle down half of my foot and up my leg to my knee are is swelled. Laying down will help reduce it some, but not much. And when the swelling gets really bad I have some tingling and a little numbness in my leg and foot. Also I have noticed a little pain in my calf and shin area. My right ankle swells some also, but not near as bad as the left. I am a realatively healthy person, 33 year old female. Should I be alarmed with this swelling, or should I just wait it out and see how it gets?? I wouldnt even worry if I wasnt having the tingling and numbness in it too. Any advice??
