Question : Hi, I just recently had a Tumor on my brain taken out. A week or so after returning home my lower legs and and both ankles and feet started swelling. The lower part of my legs have small flaky sores.
I am better off lying down. Not bothering from sleep. When I get up in the morning the swelling is reduced quite a bit but by mid day it builds back up. Do IO need to see a specialist? My family Doctor had me take a Ultra Sound it showed no blood clots. I would appreciate you comments.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. I would insist you to upload an image of the flaky sores that you complain of. Also upload an image that shows the extent of the swelling. However, I feel that you indeed need to see a specialist.

Let me know if I could help further.

Regards
