Reasons Why Your Feet Are Swollen
Swelling of the feet, legs, and ankles refers to an accumulation of fluid in the lowest body parts. The swelling also called peripheral edema usually occurs at the feet because gravity drains the fluid to the lowest areas of the body. The buildup is not painful unless it occurs due to an injury. Swelling of the ankles, leg, and feet is most common in elderly adults. It might occur on one or both sides of the foot. It can also affect one or more parts.
