See primary doc: Pedal edema can result from ibuprofen and naproxen use. I have mainly seen it with Celebrex, (celecoxib) though. With your history of cancer, it makes sense to rule out a deep venous thrombosis or clot. Please see your physician for a doppler ultrasound if necessary. The fact that both legs are swollen makes that less likely. Still, it is best to make sure the swelling is not due to heart, kidney, or liver dz

Visit an MD: New swelling of both lower legs generally requires an in-person MD evaluation. Main possibilities are a condition called venous stasis, heart pump problem of some kind, kidney problem, liver problem. Occasionally the NSAIDs you are taking can cause this.

Lower ext edema: Hi, you need to see a doctor ASAP, it could be as simple as venous stasis due to Varicose veins but infection, kidney problems, heart problems and lung and liver problems should be ruled out. Feel better soon.
