Hi
Welcome to XXXXXXX

Such massive swelling can be due to Deep venous Thrombosis. It is a condition in which is there is thrombus formation in the deep veins of the legs thus blocking the drainage of the deoxygenated blood from legs which causes massive swelling along with pain and there is warmth temp at the calf.

It is recommended to have Doppler ultrasound of the right leg to assess the venous drainage and have a blood test for d-dimmers. avoid any exertion or too much walking as the thrombus may dislodge and can cause an embolism.

If you still have some query, feel free to ask

Thanks

Thanks for the reply

It cannot be kidney condition because in kidney function compromise there is edema which is bilateral along with puffiness of face.

The unilateral leg swelling can be either due cellulitis which is also accompanied with redness of the leg and fever. Another condition is osteosarcoma which is a malignant condition but it is more common in young ages the skin is too much vascularized with new small vessels. another condition called elephantiasis causes massive swelling of the leg due to blockage of the lymphatics by an organism called Wuchereria bancrofti. There are still other too many conditions. The above mentioned are the common one.

For evaluation you to go through detailed workup including lab investigations and radiological examinations

If you still have some query, feel free to ask

No. Consult General surgeon. they will rule out causes like cellulitis, DVT, osteosarcoma, and if there is no surgical issue they will refer you to specialist in XXXXXXX medicine as per protocol who will look up for causes like elephantiasis, renal function or any cardiac diseases.

Thanks
