What Can Cause Severe Swelling In The Lower Legs And Discomfort In The Knees?

I have moderate to severe swelling on both lower legs/feet. Pitted edema. No pain or discolouration just a pressure feeling and sometimes slight tingling. Mild discomfort in knees but no other symptoms. Sudden onset under 36 hours ago, no improvement with rest.
