Swelling on leg after sutures, what's wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe something: Swelling after injury is normal, and the legs tend to swell more than areas higher on the body. Excess swelling, especially with pain and redness, maybe a sign of trouble like an infection. When in doubt, go see your doctor.
