A member asked:
How accurate is ultrasound? have posterior lower leg swelling (ankle to calf). multiple mri and ultrasound returned nothing. lymphedema ruled out too.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Swollen calf: check neurological status of nerve roots lumbar 4 and 5. if you are a runner, and swelling is painful, then check for compartment syndrome. See neurologist. good Luck
