I am 35 & I constantly have severly swollen ankles and feet. Diuretics don't work.?

Question:

Swelling started when I had hyperthyroidism that went undiagnosed for several years. My thyroid was ablated but my ankles never returned to normal.
Even at night, with my feet raised, the swelling subsides only slightly.

Answers:
It could be a problem with your sodium intake....try watching your sodium and see if your swelling doesn't go down. You're most likely retaining fluids and sodium causes that.

The net can give u all kinds of suggestions, but u have 2 do the leg work. I hope u get well.

Have you tried wearing compression stockings? Also known as "TED hose"? Not sure where you'd get them, but maybe try a medical supply store. They just compress your legs so that a build up of fluid is less likely to occur throughout the day.
