Helen - sorry to hear you're in pain from your swollen ankles, it sounds awful, and the hot days of summer only make it worse. I'm sure you've tried all the common treatments - but here's a list of stuff that might help if you haven't already tried - ibuprofen, ice, keep your feet up, wear support stockings (I know, awful in this hot weather), you might want to try water pills if you think you're retaining water, cut back on salt, etc.

Hope you start feeling better soon, Bubba
