Dear Lisa, my Dad has had trouble with swollen ankles because of heart trouble, and they do hurt when they're puffy. Bonnie's advice is good, plus some gentle massage to pull the fluid back into the torso. It's a similar situation to lymphedema in the arm, if that is indeed what your doc thinks is going on. Hope you get answers today, as it's worrisome with a fever on top of it. Let us know!

<3,
Lolly
