When we came home, within a few days, everything returned to normal. Couldn't figure it out. Second time we went down, same thing. We finally figured out that it's the tile/cement floors -- too hard on our joints. Something worth looking into. At home we have tile floors -- but mostly hardwood and carpet -- and have no problem -- but we have a basement -- so the floors have some "give" if that makes sense. Our friends, who live in Hadley -- the husband had the same problem. He wears flip flops on the tile floors and swear that it takes care of the pain. Hope this helps! Vy Allen

If you are eating in restaurants, that may be the problem. The food is very salty. I never have swollen ankles except when I go to Florida. Better to eat at home, at least you can control what goes into your food.
