ankle routine!' It gets old FAST!

Yes I've had ankle swelling issues and they are due to the LACK OF EXERCISE we tend to not do-because our feet hurt! and Due to the lack of circulation because we aren't exercising because our FEET HURT! Further due to the lack of circulation in the blood vessels and lymph system our feet SWELL because our feet hurt? Thing is it's proven thru lots of clinical trials that the pain is less and we feel better doing exercises...thing is that it hurts doing it, and if we don't do it right exercise can make it worse...

As for how the vascular, lymph and nervous system act and inter-act with each other this site is good:

Look under the Diabetic Neuropathy section...while lots of us aren't diabetic, the process aren't dis-similar.
It's sort of technical, but it is pretty much in the basic English language.
Don't let any photos put you off...of course they always show the most obvious ones..or the worst.
Hope this helps!
