I think you typed wrong, you need to see a nephrologist, not a neurologist. Leg edema is usually worse at the end of the day because of gravity and improved the next morning. You have to see a kidney doctor as soon as possible.

Yes, nephrology is needed, as you describe likely kidney disease and this needs attention ASAP. Dr. Le and I fully agree. Get this handled. You can feel better
