A member asked:

The left side of my body is a little swollen. i can feel that there is a difference in each side of my body. what does that mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May be normal: It is not unusual to have asymmetry of sides anywhere in our body. Asymmetry doesn't mean that there is swelling or abnormal deformity. If you still have concerns have an examination by a physician for reassurance.
