A member asked:
Had metel rod for two years leg swells is it bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Leg swelling: Leg swelling is not normal even when there is a metal rod in the leg. I recommend that your physician examine your leg to make sure that there is no vein problem like phlebitis or inadequate vein function causing edema to accumulate..
