I'm quite a bit younger than you and have about 10-15 extra pounds I need to lose, but I too have the same issue; my ankles will swell almost as big as they did when I was pregnant and had toxemia sometimes.
I've found that besides cutting down on the salt, I FORCE myself to get up every hour and either walk around my apartment or out in my backyard, or even walk to the mailbox or to stroll around the pool. ANYTHING that helps get my circulation pumping again.
You have my sympathy because the swelling can be extremely painful and takes forever to go down once it grabs hold.
Try forcing yourself to step away from the computer every hour or so and just walk around and stretch (don't sit down, stay upward!). I find it really helps me, so I hope it helps you too.
