Peripheral edema flu: The pain in your toes may be from pressure (fluid build-up) in the foot compartments. What you describe are hallmarks of peripheral edema, though swollen legs can have many causes, including kidney disease, liver damage (cirrhosis), heart failure, lymph infections, a condition called lymphedema, & others. You need to be evaluated thoroughly by a doctor. Prop your legs up at night- it could help.
