Swollen Legs, Feet And Ankle, After Pedicure Water In Foot,test Shows Negative, Treatment?
I would like to know why for the last 5 months both of my legs and feet and ankles have been swollen my Dr. told me it was the heat and now that the weather here has cool down the swollen in my both of my legs have gone down which is great! but a few days ago I notice when after given myself a pedicure I felt water in my left foot like the last 2 toes and it did it for about a good 20 minutes then I notice that the water had subsided and now my toes that have been curl up for 5 months have relax and came back down but what I am now noticing is where the problem started is still swollen not like it was before it was really puffy high and now its down some ..so my question is will this go away on its own I have had many testing on both legs and it shows nothing....and I just like to know why this has just started happening to me....

Hi,
Have you checked your urine through urine analysis? - usually protein in urine or other kidney problems can cause swollen legs, feet and ankle.
Have you done any test for arthritis? - usually, during the cold weather, especially, when raining, arthritis problems arise.
Have you suffered any trauma in the affected area (lower limbs)?
Do you suffer from any liver or heart disease? - At some point (stage), such problems would arise.
What kind of shoes do you wear? - Tight shoes can also cause such problems.
What kind of job do you do? - Jobs requiring no physical activity, only sitting for long time, can also cause such problems. If yes, you can use a low chair to put over your legs or can do some walking steps from time in time.
Hope it helped!
