What Causes Prolonged Swelling In The Legs Of A Dysplasia Patient?

I have been seeing an Arthritis Doc for two years. I was born with Dysplasia and I am 51. I ve gotten several knee in jections. Now it appears that both legs and feet are giving me a lot of problems. I know I should see my doc which I am. But, my legs always feel swollen.

Hi,

This is basically dependent edema. I hope it subsides in early morning and increases as the day passes.

So try to do calf pump exercises which will help you to decrease this swelling.

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