Requires evaluation: including EKG, echocardiogram as well venous and arterial Doppler studies of the lower extremities. Obviously you will medication for the edema.

Be safe.: Anytime one has pitting edema of the foot and ankle, that moves on to calf and upper leg pain, IST or not, it would be advisable to waste little time in making sure a deep vein thrombosis is not involved. At least call your physician and let him/her know of your symptoms or take a trip to an urgent care.
