Could be anything: Leg swelling could be a result of infection, inflammation, blood clots, lymph channel blockage, trauma, malignancy etc. you first need to get examined by a doctor before a diagnosis and treatment plan can be made

Swollen leg: i don't know your age. Swelling in 1 leg for 5 months needs to be seen by your doctor. may need some blood work up and imaging (? USS)

Swelling: If you have had persistent unilateral swelling for months, I would recommend getting checked for blood clot.
