Having an problem as to where my legs start getting tight and swollen. can you tell me why? it only happens when i'm on my bus working 12hrs.

Leg swelling: This could be a edema from anything. It is normal to have a little bit of edema around the ankle after sitting or standing for long period of time. But if it is severe you should see dr. And have it evaluated.
