What you are experiencing could be caused by lymphedema, venous insufficiency or other autoimmune diseases. It is important for you to consult with your healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause of this left side swelling and receive appropriate treatment.

Swelling of only one side of the body is extremely unusual. You need to be seen by a doc at an academic center.
