A member asked:
Is there a specific medical condition associated with swollen feet and nothing else?

Technically: Technically yes..When you do not know the etiology of a condition then the condition itself can be the pathology. This is known as "idiopathic"....So idiopathic swollen feet...Means the foot is swollen and we have no reason...

Lymphedema: Lymphedema is due to a decrease in the function of the lymphatic system or blockage and could cause swollen feet and may move up the legs over time.
