Consult physician : Pregnancy related swelling should have resolved long ago. A physician evaluation is necessary to determine the cause of the swelling.

See a doctor.: These may be symptoms of varicose veins, which can become very painful and often become present during or after pregnancy. Your best bet is to see a vascular surgeon in your area, get an ultrasound, and get his/her recommendation. In the meantime, try compression hose.

Vein issue: This could be related to a vein problem which is not uncommon both during and after pregnancy. The veins in the legs bring blood back to the heart and if they have leaky valves this could result in swelling of the legs. Also, if there is a blockage or clot in the veins then this could result in the same type of symptoms. Elevating your legs may likely help alleviate the swelling.
