Suggest Treatment For Stage 4 Pitting Edema On The Left Shin

Hi. I have noticed for the past few days that I have stage 4 pitting edema on my left shin. It is mid tibia and only affects the area of the bone. (Non-circumferential) approx 4-6 inches of bone affected. I do not have any history, allergies, or medications. Any ideas? Thank you.

Friend, your history is not complete. Tell me your sex & age & how many days back it started? When did you notice it first. Any history of injury or insect bite? Is there redness &/or itching? Keep your leg elevated over pillow etc. Apply some ice in a polythene bag to the effected site You will be fine. Revert back to me after 4-5 days.
