Hi, My left leg has been swollen between my knee and my ankle for a while now. There s no pain, redness, no tingling, and it s not sensitive to the touch. I do find it odd though and am starting to worry that it might be something bad? Really, we have to pay for an answer? What a scam you guy s are running here! what happen to your Hip-Oath. as a doctor? Sick people need your help, but if they don t have the money- Guess their shit out of luck! Thanks Doc.....
