Suggest Treatment For Swelling In Knee And Ankles

HI, thanks for being there! Yesterday one leg started swelling, from above the knee to the ankle. It s about an inch bigger than the other leg, all the way down. The knee on that side has been bothering me for months, but don t know if that s related. Your website pops up a scary message saying to get medical help immediately. Is that really necessary or can I wait to see if the swelling subsides?
