Brief Answer:
This is not true that aspirin causes swollen legs!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Aspirin is not known to cause swollen legs. I will like to know for how long this has been going on and how soon after starting aspirin that you noticed the swollen legs. Also, do you have high blood pressure, diabetes or any known kidney disease? WHEn was the last time you had a complete physical and what did you do?

Thanks and let me hear back from you. In the mean time, I wish you well.
