Kidneys possibly.

@Becky_Moffitt_Huntsm, can you give more details? How long have your feet & ankles been swelling? Water intake, sodium intake, medications? What are you eating?

What’s your salt / potassium intake?

Lots of different possibilities, from electrolytes, inactivity, heat, heart issues, and food intolerances, to name but a few.

Do your ankles swell every day, whatever your activity levels? whatever the heat?

I have found that my swollen ankles have improved in steps (see wot I did there?) by adjusting electrolytes, being more active during my deskbound work day and avoiding grains and gluten (even a teasp of a gluten containing food will make my ankles swell significantly).

Worth getting checked out by a doc if a few changes like those I mentioned above don’t make a difference.
