Swelling: The right thing to do is make an appointment with your primary care doctor. This type of edema is not normal

Have evaluation: Swelling of only one leg is always worrisome. It is best t have it evaluated to make sure there is no clot. Pain may be absent depending on the level of involvement. Anything that impedes the return of blood or the lymph vessels can cause swelling. It is best if your doctor can see it and evaluate it.

One leg swelling: Just one leg swelling in 61 years old needs evaluation for clot. Please see your doctor and get doppler test of this leg. Thanks.
