Has anyone experienced edema in their ankles and feet?

I was diagnosed with PMR 11 months ago. I have gone from 20 mg of Prednisone to now taking 5 mg.
At times I have noticed my lower legs and ankles are swollen . Has anyone else experienced this ?
I am also gaining weight with no change to my diet. I know that Prednisone may be the cause but any suggestions would be welcomed.

Yes. I sometimes notice my left ankle swollen at night

I’ve had PMR 2.5 years. I originally started loosing a lot of weight especially arms and legs. then all of a sudden about 2 months ago while on low doses of Prednisone (below 4mg) I started gaining a lot of weight. Seems very opposite.
