Severe Swelling In Foot, Pain While Lifting Leg, Climbing Stairs. Exercising, Getting Lymph Massage Done. Suggestions?

for three weeks I have had severe swelling in left foot, due to not working out, poor diet, etc., ankle and leg, some in right ankle and foot, started going to gym again, am getting colonics and lymph massage to rid of fluid, if this does not work, what is it? PAD? No pain, but have trouble going up stairs, lifting left leg, etc, swelling goes away at night when elevated.

Another possiblity of cardiac cause , so need to check your cardiac status
