Edema: This is likely due to veins in your right leg that are not working well. Veins have valves in then that prevent blood from flowing backwards and our muscles push the blood forward towards our heart. When the valves don't work we get edema in that leg. It gets worse when we are up and goes down when we lay down. See you doctor for help with this.
