Dear Madam,
Thank you for reverting back.
Please answer all the questions that I have asked . Sinec you say that the swelling subsides after resting it means its a non inflammtory swelling . Sometimes in varicose veins such things happen .
Have you got clumps of blue veins on your legs , behind the knee etc.
