What Causes Swelling In My Left Leg From Knee Down The Foot?
Thank you- I have swelling in my left leg from the knee down, including the foot, with some redness but no pain. I have been advised it is probably fluid, however, I am not sure. I was checking to see other diagnosis for this symstoms? Do I have to list an e-mail address or do you respond on chat?

Hi,
The symptoms you have shared may be because of cellulitis of the leg but need to be investigated like blood tests to rule out infection and ultrasound of leg to look for Deep Venous Thrombosis. Try taking analgesia and consult your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
