I have one ankle that swells in the hot weather. The doctor said if both ankles were swelling that is more serious.

I know to elevate the ankle is a good idea. Any other methods to improve things please ?

My ankles have swollen too. One more than the other. I'm sitting with my feet up and with my Dyson tower fan on me. I'm being careful to keep drinking water. I'm circling my ankles too to keep them moving. Good luck with yours NanKate

Mine too and top of my feet! Try to elevate, drink plenty and exercise feet by circling and moving them up and down!

I suffer this too (in both ankles when it’s hot) and as well as the tips above, I don’t wear sandals with restrictive straps as that makes my feet join in by swelling too.

I have swollen feet and ankles anyway and this weather is exacerbating them. Lots of rest for me in between childcare and keeping cool.
