Suggest Treatment For Swelling In The Leg
My left lower leg, knee, ankle are swollen. No blood clots had that test. Had MRI no major problems there to cause the swelling. Skin has areas that are numb, or tingle, or feel normal or atleast like the other leg. No pain except when one spot is touched on my knee cap which feels like what I believe electricution would be like.

Hello,
Some tips that may help reduce swelling:
Put your legs on pillows to raise them above your heart while lying down. Exercise your legs.
Follow a low-salt diet, which may reduce fluid buildup and swelling. Wear support stockings (sold at most drugstores and medical supply stores).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
