Should I Be Worried For The Swelling Just Above The Ankle?
I just go back from a weekend in TX. I took a 3+ hour flight there and 4 hour flight back on Sunday. Today my lower left leg has some swelling just above the ankle. It is only in one area and very tender, like I hit it hard on something but I didnt. No real bruising. Should I be worried?
If not recovered then renal and cardiac examination is required.
