Has anyone experienced edema in their ankles and feet?

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.

Thanks very much for your response. My edema is the least in the morning when I wake up because I sleep with my feet slightly elevated. But it gets worse during the day when I am on my feet. Just recently I lost 7 pounds in two weeks. totally unexplained weight loss because I am eating well. I finally decided yesterday to start taking prednisone at the very low dose of 10 mg per day suggested by rheumatologist.
