A member asked:

I woke up at night with my left leg feeling swollen and numb. it was gone next morning. there is a sore spot behind and below my left knee.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Leg swelling: If true swelling of the leg occurs and there is discomfort or tenderness behind the knee or in the calf, phlebitis is a concern and a leg ultrasound is recommended. A Baker's cyst is another possibility. In any event I feel that you should be examined by a physician and he/she will order any appropriate tests.
