I noticed my ankle starting to swell yesterday but thought nothing of it cause I haven t had any injuries , but this morning I could barely put on my shoe , it s huge. It doesn t hurt or anything just really uncomfortable to walk on. What could cause my ankle to swell like this overnight and Could this be dangerous or life threatening?
Hi, You should investigate for sudden swelling over a foot. Hypoproteinemia, liver malfunction, cardiac problem, kidney disease etc. can be the reason for that.  For that, I suggest you investigate with SGPT, GOT, EKG, urea, creatinine estimation, serum protein estimation for further work up.  According to cause specific treatment given. You should consult a physician for examination and discuss all these. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
