I have one cankle (edited with PIP)

TempeWick · February 2011

How weird is that? My left leg is a tiny bit swollen, but not even close to my right one. Anyone else have swelling in just one leg? Is that even normal??

Edited with a pic: Maybe I'm exaggerating and they're not so bad.

I had a left cankle until around the time I was diagnosed with pre-e, then it was from my knee down on both legs. One-sided swelling can be a sign of a blood clot though... maybe call the OB just to see what they say?

One is better than two? I'm not sure if it's normal, but I don't see it as a concern.

i usually get one worse that the other. It is sometimes b/c of how i am sitting. Did you have your feet crossed at all? One foot elevated higher than the other?

My right leg gets way more swollen than my left by the end of the work day. No idea why, although my right calf has always been larger/stronger than my left, so I must favor that leg without even realizing it. So strange!

p.s. your toes look nice! I KNOW you got a pedicure because there's no way you were able to reach down there yourself!

That's exactly what I had going on last night! I've been swelling a lot and have even had some purple in my legs but I was told to drink lots of water and keep my legs up. Also, they said as long as my legs don't just blow up in one day then swelling is normal. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that has one swollen ankle! Good luck with your swelling!

You're not alone! My right leg/ankle/foot has always been more swollen than my right. NO idea why, though. lol

Oh, and my Dr's say it's normal...as long as my BP and urine are fine. The only way it will go away is if I deliver. So, I'm now embracing my cankles.

I had more swelling on my right side than my left.

I had this today and pointed it out to my dr. He said it can really depend on how the baby is situated if one side or the other swells. He thought mine was fine.

My left is always way worse than my right leg. Doc said it's not really common so they sent me for a doppler ultrasound to rule out a clot. Came back normal, so maybe I just stand on that leg more??

I have the same here. My right ankle is more swollen then my left. I'll be glad when she gets here and the swelling goes away.
