It seems to be lymphatic infection.
if you have a history of fall it may be a fracture
can suggest gouty arthritis...
.......dont panic ,but I suggest you not to neglect them.....just get examined to be on the safer side..
symptomatically you can get rid of it by keeping your leg slightly elevated while lying down

Hi! I went through this problem over the last 2 months. my knee cap area was swollen when I had fever 2 months ago - doctors informed me that my fever as well as the swelling near knee cap was due to some allergy. They treated me and fever subsided. The swelling moved downwards to the ankle and foot. Had pain in the foot. All subsided over a fortnight's time. But the pain in the ankle, and some swelling, recurred about 10 days ago. I consulted Orhopaedic surgeons who put me on medication. Alarmed at the pain, I went for a second opinion. This time the doctor, finding nothing abnormal seen in the series of x-rays he had taken, advised for an MRI scan. Three days ago, the scan showed clearly that there was a minor legament tear at the rear of the ankle. The ankle and the surrounding area was bandaged yesterday. Since then the pain is gone. The bandage is due to be cut open on 17-Oct-2006. I am relieved of the tension, after the findings.
Your symtoms sound similar to my case. Hope my experience helps you. Take care

I badly sprained my ankle about 3 weeks ago. I was in a hurry going down the stairs, lost my balance and landed on a bad side of my left foot, causing my left ankle to be stretched going on the inside. The first 48 hours were excruciating and the pain was un-believable. I've never had a serious ankle injury before.
So I immediately treated it using the RICE method. The following day, the bruising and swelling were so horrible. I found out that I got a second degree sprain and immediately panicked after that. I had a football game on that week and it been looking forward to it because I've been training for rt. I had teammates that had similar injuries and it took them months to fully recover, some of them stopped playing altogether. So I kinda had a short-term depression because I can't imagine myself not being able to run and play sports anymore.
Because I was so desperate to recover again, I contacted a lot of people that I know who do sports and asked them if they had similar injuries. One friend of mine, from the boy's football team in my university, told me about H.E.M. Ankle Rehab. I got a copy 4 days after I got injured. I immediately read and followed what was instructed and felt improvement on the first day. I was able to walk a bit, but I was in pain.
A couple of days after that, the swelling and bruising were subsid-ing significantly and on the fourth day, I was walking comfortably again. Although I've had felt a bit of stiffness, I continued doing what was instructed. My sister was surprised that I have recovered this fast. I told her about this book and was shocked on how effective the procedures were. I'm just so happy that this book was shared to me and how effective it is.
Heal your ankle fully & fast?

If a depression is made when you press the swollen part, it might be a sign of water retention.
You should see a doctor!

You need to see a doctor!!! You have edema which can be a sign of a serious problem such as Congestive Heart Failure or blood clot.

Well, I was going to say not enough information to make a proper diagnosis. Guess I was wrong.
