I agree ! My neurology gotten worse last February 2024 with swollen ankles and feet ! I have been on gabapentin since with antidepressants and vitamin B supplements . But I have found out walking 2 miles a day has ease the pain and depression. I just went to have blood work done and found out I have uric acid ! Another issue to deal with !

Welcome @andrez, Swollen ankles and feet might be a sign of gout. I've had it before and it is painful and difficult to walk. I had high uric acid levels in the blood also but it doesn't always indicate gout. Mayo Clinic has some information on the diagnosis and treatment here - https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/gout/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20372903.

The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has some good information on living well with neuropathy here - https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/.

Did your doctor suggest any treatment to help with the swollen feet and ankles?

I had swollen Right foot for years. I had Total Knee replacement by VA doctors then broke out in a Major infection had problems with it ever since. Fail off the Ladder 2016 broke my feet again because my right knee. Finally my New Neurologist in 2024 after real bad EMG test on my Left side diagnosed with Axonal Neuropathy after years pain (Never realizing some was Tingling) VA never testing. But long story short with an increase of Gabapentin 1200 MG it reduced my Tingling (Now that I know what it is) to a manageable amount. Never gone but I can deal with it better then years of not knowing what it has been. BIO Freeze helps my hand Pain along with my Copper Compression Glove.
