Need workup: This could be related to either kidney or cardiac dysfunction and you should be worked up. The increased swelling in the one with past trauma verse the other leg is the fact that trauma can change vascular flow and cause edema later in life when systemic reasons cause swelling. With feet burning, may have neuropathy, possibly even from diabetes which could be causing kidney damage. Need workup.
