NoWhatDidTheyTellYOU: If the ultrasound test for DVT(Deep Vein Thrombosis) was negative,what did they tell you was the cause and what advice was given If it is just swelling and no pain,i will elevate the affected leg when i am home and when in bed with pillow under your leg and follow up with your doctor.It might be caused by fluid retension and you may need diuretic.Cut down the salt in your food as well
