Serious Matter: Leg swelling, aka edema can be evidence of a more serious underlying issue. Blood clots and heart failure are just a couple to mention. You need to get seen by a doctor ASAP to get this worked up and find out the cause. Don't delay, see you local doctor today!

Fluid retention: It sounds like for some reason you are retaining fluid. This can be from cardiac, respiratory, renal, or a host of other problems. A water pill can help, but ultimately the issue is accurate diagnosis of the root cause.? Be seen.
