Tests for kidney function, water retention, circulation problems, are some of the things which come to mind. Check with a physician and cut back on salty foods.

If it is getting worse, a return visit to the doctor is in order, and you should ask him for more effective pain medication.  Meanwhile, JUST as a relief measure while you wait to see the doctor, keep your leg elevated to relieve the swelling and pressure, and wear soft slippers to minimize the pain.

Hi, I don't have trouble with my ankles swelling, however one of the reasons your ankles could swell is possibly due to the fact that you are not active enough during the day because of your work situation. The lymphatic system does not have a pump like the circulatory system and so requires body movement in order to move excess fluid to be processed and removed from the body. Try rotating your ankles periodically while sat at your desk, or try to move around the office more, if that does not help, please see your medical practioner to rule out anything else. \n Also, take a look at any medicatons you may be taking, some may cause swelling at the ankles, good luck xx

It could be Mononeucleousis = Glandular Fever\nIt could be Depression\nIt could be Chronic Fatigue Syndrome\nIt could be due to early pregrancy\n\nEither way it doesn't simply sound like you're feeling just a bit tired, it seems your energy levels and completely rock bottom even if you sleep well (oh boy afraid to say can I relate to this)...\n\n...the reasons could be several.  If due to your new medication; maybe it's a permanent side effect of them but as you are quite new to them then maybe it's just the adjusting time?  Hopefully it's that because if it is it will soon balance itself out.  Most medications make us feel tired first (antibiotics for example; when I have to take them I feel worse in first few days and completely exhausted but that's always the case, body just needs to adjust).\n\nEither way - DO talk to your Doctor about it and seek advice; help and support - as it's not easy being exhausted all of the time, it affects your quality of life in general.\n\nGood luck\n\n:-)\n\nHannah

Antidepressants are renowned for putting weight on you and for causing fluid retention. This is why you are swelling. Extra weight and fluid is gathering there as it has been a site of injury to the body. It will naturally protect that area when it is being worked with fluid and if your having troubles there it will aggravate that further.\n\nSpams and cramps/pain can be from a lack of Magnesium in the diet and the medication will be leaching this from your body.\nMy advice would be to talk to a Naturopath or Doctor open to more natural treatments about an alternative treatment programme for your depression so as to eliminate so much medication. see here http://www.jentleearthhealing.com/tft.html I use this method with great success for my patients, if you are interested then contact me and I will put you in touch with a practitioner in your area. I would see a Naturopath about geting tested for what you are deficient in mineral wise and get onto a supplementation programme, you will notice the difference within a few weeks believe me.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nCraig - Naturopath.

Keep your legs in the air at night.  Exercise your legs, like imaginary bicycle while lying in bed.  Keep salt to an absolute minimum and stay super active.  You will get better!

Try an otc allergy medication and see if it works, take for several days and see if you feel better, then stop and see what happens. If stuffiness returns you have an allergy.

You've probably strained the muscles from all the heaving ... it should feel better in a day or so, but if it doesn't perhaps you should get to the Doctor ...

Hope you Consult your Doctor. There are to many meds and side efects to be playing the how much meds game. Just tell your Doctor how you feel and how the meds you got are or are not working and the 2 of you can make a better decision on what's best for you.

When I was younger my legs hurt really bad and I hated any noise when I was in bed. You might have pressure on your lower spine and you need to see a physiotherapist like a friend of mine or like me you should see a doctor to discuss depression.Once I started to take meds my legs never bothered me since unless if I've been off of them for a while and I'm tired then that's when they hurt real bad.\nTry ear plugs and one of those night visors(that go over your eyes) or what ever it's called to keep some of the lights out .You never mentioned about energy levels during the day if you always seem tired then you might have serious problems.What it is that you may be laking in your serotonin levels that controls every thing from sleep to motivation to even happiness.\nWater intake or eating properly is not the problem what your doing is what any person who knows something is wrong but can't put there  finger on it  is doing and that is why AM I like this and how do I snap out of this.\nPhantom pain and sleep is two of the sure signs your suffering and I know how much you are suffering.So don't be embarrassed about going to a doctor and talking about this I was embarrassed but relieved when he explained every thing to me and gave me a script of Prozac. I really hope i'm wrong but if I'm right then your going to have a long road of recovery ahead of you but maybe your like my friend that I mentioned and it's only your spine causing pressure on a nerve cuasing you to have sore legs.

Potassium helps with leg cramps sometimes.  Eat bananas or get some pills...

Please see your doctor AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.\n\nThough you have diabetes I think the pain of the leg cannot be ignored by taking a pill or putting some balm.\n\nSee the doctor soon. You can see yahoo answers later. Hurry up.
