Have this checked: It is possible that this may just be venous insufficiency and/or varicosities. But certainly see if there are other issues like underlying congestive heart failure or clots as well. Would depend on your medical history and age but again if this is new it should be checked.

Many things: Many things can make you swell. If the swelling is in both legs then you may need to more concerned with your heart and/or kidneys. If it is just one side you may need to be checked for a blood clot. A thorough exam will hopefully answer the questionand give you some suggestions of how to treat it.
