Why does my leg swell up every so often?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Veins and lymph: Swelling in the lower extremity has many different causes. This can range from weak veins to an arthritic condition of that area. Different activities can make the condition worse or make the swelling go down depending on the condition. Some things to consider: is there any pain or tenderness or is there a color change.
