my lower left leg and foot swell up during the day. its happed for about a month now. it follow a calf muscle pain that lasted a about 3 weeks, after two long trips in span of a week. what can i do to treat it?

Accepted Answer

One leg swelling: Sounds like you had Venous thrombosis from the long trip.  I would call your Dr in AM. Check family history of this.  If you are taking female hormones for some reason this can cause blood clots in legs.

in the last month ive had muscle pain on my left leg, started on calf and ankle moved to back of the knee, was hard to walk/stand or seat for long. now the pain is gone but my leg keeps swelling up. what am i dealing with? should i get it check?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely see MD!: most commonly pulled muscle/tendons and strain, but depending on family history, smoking, medications/drugs, clotting disorders, etc what you describe can be from more serious underlying conditions e.g. clots in vessels, "cysts"/edema (fluid filling), even spine/nerve problems so see MD as soon as possible - emergent if red flags e.g. breathing difficulty, chest pain, fever.
