Brief Answer:
A number of causes
Detailed Answer:
Dear sir, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but lower limb edema and pain can be due to a number of causes including a side effect of your Telma blood pressure medication, so i would recommend that you refer to your doctor to change the prescription.. Also this could be due to venous insufficiency that leads to pooling of body fluids into your legs.. So I would recommend that you avoid sitting for prolonged periods , elevate you legs and wear compression stockings.. If the overlying skin of the back of your leg turned red , hot and painful then please seek medical care immediately to exclude deep vein thrombosis.. I hope you find this helpful
