Swollen Ankles

My ankles, feet and knees have been hurting the last few weeks. I did too much yesterday...worked then came home and planted flowers for about an hour.  I was really sore and stiff this morning.  Went to work and sat at a desk all day. Now both my ankles are swollen, but the left is worse than the right, and pretty big. If I press on the ankle bone on the inside of my ankle, it is tender.  Acutally it is tender a quarter of the way up the inside of my leg. This is the same for the right ankle.  Could this be the RA or may one of the meds.  My doc did change my bp meds a couple of weeks ago and then upped the dosage. Any ideas?  I'm hoping with rest, my ankles will go down overnight.

Thanks so much!

Thank you, Chartreux. It was hot and humid when I was planting those flowers. I knew better, but I love my flowers. :)

My ankles are better today. Still swollen, but not nearly as much. They do ache, though, as well as my knees. I feel pretty confident it is the RA. I have only been on MTX a few weeks. Not time for it to work yet.

Blessings,

Yep went to doc on Friday he said swelling is do to the arthritis...so good of uncle art to
