Edema of ankle is common in PD - it is often in the foot or ankle on the side
where PD's first symptoms started.   Probably caused by slowness or lack of
activity  on that side.  My left side is my most affected side and I get
occasional edema of my left ankle which hasn't lasted more than  a couple of
days - untreated.  I try to walk more and that helps.  Some drugs such as
amantadine cause leg and foot edema.
