I have a extremely swollen leg,doctors have ruled out blood clots what else could this be !can it be superficial blood clots?

Multiple: factors can cause leg swelling or edema. If one sided, it is caused by poor circulation in regional veins such as venous insufficiency or by swollen lymph nodes in the groin.
