Suggest Remedies For Swelling And Pain In Calves, Ankles And Feet

I woke up yesterday with my calves aching and swelling. My foot and ankles are really swollen on my left side. I had bad sciatica issues on that side due to a previous knee binjury on the opposite side. Looks like pitted adema. My ankles and feet are also very sweaty from the fluid retention. I live a very active lifestyle and do a lot of physical labor

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms seem to be related to fluid retention.
There are several diagnosis that can cause fluid retention.
So I suggest to do an electrocardiogram and a chest xray for further evaluation.
Meanwhile,I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen.
I also suggest to maintain the leg elevated to prevent further fluid retention.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
