Leg swelling & pain: Leg swelling and pain concerning for a blood clot in the calf. This is more common during and soon after pregnancy. I see you had a tubal ligation, recently? If you have not been evaluated, you should get an exam and an ultrasound (if anyone is worried you may have a blood clot). Blood clots in the leg can cause embolism to the lungs and brain. Please do not wait to get seen.

Heel andCalf pain: Your shoes may not be allowing enough midfoot support. Arch supports may help. Calf pain can be from suboptimal shoe heel height and from low potassium as well as other cuases. A podiatrist may prove helpful as well as ice packs to heels 15 mins 3x/dy.
