Heart Failure: The degree of edema in legs and ankles depends on the ability of the heart to pump blood. If the heart fails to pump out more blood, kidneys tend to retain the fluid. This leads to edema in legs and ankles.

In 2009, Tom Harper was involved in a devastating motorcycle accident, which shattered his ankle, pelvis, and hip; landing him in the hospital in critical condition. In the crucial weeks and months following, he underwent multiple surgeries to put his body back together. His pelvis and hip were rebuilt using an artificial joint, which took four months of recovery in a wheelchair. Finally his ankle was repaired, requiring screws and bolts to hold it together. It wasn't until the following year, that he was ordered to walk on it using his full weight, but tragically, as soon as that happened the ankle began to swell, giving him constant pain.

Osteoarthritis: It's the most common joint disorder in which the cushioning between the bones called cartilage wears away in the joints. As osteoarthritis gets worse, the cartilage disappears and bone rubs on bone, causing loosening and weakening of the muscles and ligaments.
