Angelina Jolie Rushed To The Doctor For Ankle Injury

Pregnant Angelina Jolie was rushed to the doctor after her legs swelled due to ankle injury.

The "Tomb Raider" star, who is reportedly pregnant with twins with partner Brad Pitt, had been in Texas filming her movie "Tree of Life" at the time of the injury. She had then decided to fly home to Los Angeles to have her own doctor check the swelling.

An insider tells Life & Style magazine, "At first she thought it was just a twisted ankle or something. But everyone was worried because of the pregnancy and previous problems she's had with leg swelling. Angelina didn't want to take any chances, and everyone agreed. Brad was really worried."

However, the 32-year-old star's injury turned into something more serious during her flight to Burbank, California.

The insider continues, "Her legs were swelling and she was getting really wobbly and starting to feel sick."

The pain grew unbearable for Jolie so she and partner Pitt considered an emergency landing in their private Gulfstream jet. "Angelina's medical team had advised her to head to the nearest medical facility if the situation got worse."

Jolie had apparently insisted they continue on to L.A. so her own doctor could see her. Their jet landed at Burbank airport where her physician, along with other security personnel, had been waiting for her. The couple were rushed home afterwards.
