Brief Answer:
Regarding swellimg in leg

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and noted your concern.

I dont think this is much of a concern.. It may be due to soft tissue injury on that side of foot or may be it is due to a tight elastic band. Does it go away sometime after talking off the socks? Or does it persist?

Hope to assist you further. Take care
