Brief Answer:
Blood circulation problems to consider and evaluate further.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to "Ask a Doctor" service.

I have read your query and here is my advice.

In my opinion, conditions that may affect the blood supply of your legs should be considered and evaluated further.

These conditions include deep vein thrombosis, arteritis, venous insufficiency.

Liver and kidneys diseases also may result in slightly swelled legs.

So, for a correct diagnosis, further investigations such as blood tests and Doppler ultrasound of your legs are necessary.

Discuss with tour Doctor for these issues.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
