post stroke attack its common to have this kind of swelling because your muscle tone is less and there is less muscle activity. don't worry if you are able to move your hand and legs and keep doing some simple mobility exercise with simple movement of hand as well the leg. also do check your blood pressure regularly and if it is not in control then check with your doctor for medication. rest all is fine and not to worry. take care..

Yes it can be the effect of stroke. What happens when some body is affected with stroke. The affected side leg or hand muscle goes for weakness and so that the fluid coming to the leg due to less muscle activity and muscle tone will not go up against gravity and gets accumulated. I suggest to use crep bandage and keep ankle open to move as much as you can. As well keep your feet elevated and see after one day. In case if your blood pressure is too high and the leg starts paining then you can rush back to hospital. Take care
