Hi all, my daughter did a bit more walking than usual yesterday and today I have noticed her ankles look really swollen. Is this normal? It doesn’t appear to be causing her any pain or discomfort and she is still walking around ok. She wears Pedro boots, Any advice?

Hi @SherylStone, thanks for sharing this. I'd definitely recommend discussing this with your daughter's GP if it hasn't improved over the weekend, as they'll be the best placed to advise!
