Hello,

The swelling in your legs and the weight gain is not related to the head injury. I recommend performing some tests:
- Kidney and liver function tests
- Blood electrolytes
- An abdominal ultrasound
- A cardiac ultrasound

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
