A member asked:

What can the symptoms of swelling feet and legs mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cardiologist: The lower leg is considered the 2nd heart of the body due to the valves in the blood vessels. Without proper blood flow pain can result in the leg and feet. Go to your cardiologist doctor and have them check you lower leg blood flow and valves.
