Can using a knee brace that is too tight on my left knee which I had a meniscus repair on two months ago cause swelling on my left ankle I put it on tight and bowled 5 games there is no pain but definitely edema of. The right side of the ankle and slight swelling above the ankle.
His there, Yes the knee brace that you are using might be too tight that is causing this pressure symptoms at ankle as swelling which is due to disturbance in circulation. Kindly get another brace with one size bigger. And you need to remove the brace at nighttime As you underwent meniscal repair i advice you to take rest and avoid sports and serious activity. Hope this will solve your problem. Thank you.
