688.0. "Fat Ankles!!" by RDGENG::LIBRARY (A wild and an untamed thing) Fri Aug 02 1991 17:54

    I don't know if this is an inappropriate question for this conference,
    but here goes:
    
    I don't regard myself as fat/overweight (in fact I'm not!), but I have
    very fat ankles.
    
    Does anyone know how to fix this?

could it be that you suffer from odaema? This is a condition causing
swelling of the lower joints due to water accumulation. It often goes
hand-in-hand with poor circulation.....

I'd ask your Doctors advice, were I you.

    How can poor circulation be dealt with? More exercise?

    Not necessarily. There are drugs available that can help long term
    changes to occur with short treatments.
    
    See your Doctor.
