Brief Answer:
Pleas, can you send pictures to us?
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
Please, I will like to see pictures of your legs. from the description, I am pretty sure there is nothing alarming that needs immediate medical attention. Verapamil causes fluid retention around the ankles and this could be a possible side effect though should involve both legs and not just one.
I hope to get the images before concluding. There is no need to be worried and am pretty confident all would be okay.
I wish you well.
