Does Blood Clotting Cause Swelling In The Leg Of A Person Having LgMD ?

foot pain, I do not walk because of lgmd. My feet do dangle at times. The top of my foot has become swollen and tender to touch. When I rub it it hurts worse, and I noticed the pain spreads up my leg, but just the lower part. I worried it could be a blood clot.
