Swollen ankles are for the birds I tell ya!

Ever since I started back school, I have noticed that I have had swollen ankles. I have had a lot of knee trouble in the past few years so I thought that was the cause of it. Since I did not want to go to a doctor to get it checked out thanks to lack of insurance, I looked up water retemtion remedies online. The top suggestions are reduce your salt intake, make sure you are excercising, and reduce your stress amount. Since I am walking a lot at school I have that covered so I went ahead and reduced my sodium intake and have been trying to not get so stressed out. Sadly, none of these suggestions worked. When I went to the doctor the other day thanks to my evil sinusitis, I asked him about my swollen ankles as well. Hey, might as well kill two birds with one stone, eh? He told me that my blood pressure was back up and put me back on my medicine to reduce my blood pressure and the medicine also contained a diuretic which will reduce my water retention. Hopefully this all works because I am really tired of my ankles swelling up and hurting so much!
