Hi,

To be honest, a few times we are not able to exactly know what causes swelling in the feet. The main thing is to rule out serious causes. This is great that your systems are fine and no serious cause has been found. About 15 to 30 per cent cases are not exactly known as for why they occur. Maybe related to posture, jobs, etc.

You should feel relaxed as it's not serious. You may be helped by keeping the leg elevated, avoid too much standing, keep a pillow below the leg in the night, and avoid tight shoes.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mahboob Ur Rahman, General & Family Physician
