both of my ankles and calves are swollen daily, I sleep with my legs elevated and in the morning the swellings have reduced, but after being up a half hour the swellings return and on and off during the day I get sizzling sensations in different parts of my legs.

Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like blood clot of the leg, infection in the leg area, venous insufficiency, organ failure like heart, liver, or kidney, lymphedema.
