ADVERTISEMENTDoctors say ankle swelling is not unusual, but it should never be ignored. “Ankle swelling is a symptom which can embody a whole gamut of diseases. “Often stress, long hours of standing and prolonged use of some medications can cause ankle swelling.

In today’s city life, where long commutes, desk jobs and extended working hours are common, ankle swelling is frequently dismissed as fatigue, say doctors.
