You : You need to be evaluated by your physician immediately for these symptoms. Please call your doctor and be seen today. Having new onset of leg swelling (peripheral edema) is concerning, and could represent fluid overload caused by worsening renal failure or poor circulation from your heart. Please call and seek out an immediate medical evaluation. You may need treatment for this condition.

Many possibilities: Some causes of swelling can include systemic problems such as hypertension, and problems with the kidneys and localized issues such as arthritis, infection, lymphatic obstruction, blood clots, varicose veins, trauma (fracture, sprain, tendonitis) and side effects to medication. Have it evaluated by a professional and get the appropriate treatment.
