Swollen ankles

 Over the past few years my ankles tend to swell up in the warmer months.  It can be very painful.  Has anyone noticed this problem improve post-op?

Trudy my ankles and feet look like little pillows at the bottoms of my legs. I sure hope the surgery helps as at times they are very painful also.

Yes, definitely. And you're right, it is painful. I had a huge decrease in swelling post-op, so something to look forward to.  Now with my health issues, I have "hobbit feet" again. Painful. And ugly. lol

Oh yeah...enormous improvement!  I'm just over halfway to goal and already I have normal toes, you can see my ankles and the tendons in my feet are visible...no more puffy feet here!  Oh, and they feel so, so much better too.

PS  I painted my toenails the other day ...  so cool to be able to reach them again!

i painted mine last week, isn't it cool??

You betcha!  What colour did you do yours?  I went with a nice shiny, pink for now.....next time it'll be red!

it's red, this time, but i just ordered some electric blue and purple, from my sister in law, who sells avon. I love the bright wild colours you can do on your toes. lol

Major improvement................just another wonderful side effect, be warned though, you will need new smaller shoes, so you will have to shop......lol

I call them cankles - where your calf and your ankle become one!! 

Well I am happy to hear that I may look forward to an improvement.  I don't want to paint my toes because I don't want to draw any more attention to my "cankles". LOL
