Whole leg &Right,too: "Always compare the other side" is a medical proverb. So, you're safest getting BOTH legs ultrasounded to see what the problem might be. Diffuse swelling of the leg (lower than the knee) could be due to a blood clot; the lump on the left thigh could be separate. Without seeing the problem, would err on including inner, outer, Doppler, right side, left side, thigh, leg. TTYD or use HealthTap Prime.
