Family doctor: Your family physician that you have seen would be the best as he/she would know you, what your medical conditions have been, and what the best tests may be for you.

Primary care doctor: Because there are multiple potential causes for swelling in a leg, it would likely be best to see a primary care doctor first. If they need to get a specialist involved they can then refer you to one. This will decrease the likelihood you will end up going to the wrong specialist.
