question: Ankle My ankle swells up pretty bad from just walking around. Im 41 years old. I am 185lbs and i m 5 10 tall. Think i am in pretty good shape. I stay as active as i can. I play football from August till the beginning of November. And i usually run 2 miles a day on a treadmill. Havent done much running because i dont want to hurt myself. My ankles swells from the Achilles tenden to the outside of my ankle and wraps to the top pf my foot. No discoloration just swelling and it makes it difficult to stand on it.
