A member asked:

I just got off a flight last night but my feet and ankle is swollen mainly in my left leg. is this normal and i have been sweating more than normally?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Leg edema : If you were stationary on a flight for an extended period of time and you have 1 leg that is swollen and/or painful as compared to the other leg, you should see your doctor for evaluation of a possible blood clot in the leg. The location of the clot can be assessed by ultrasound imaging which will help guide management.
