Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The pain in the legs with pitting edema with normal cardiac investigations is likely to be due to muscle related pathology like yositis or muscle cramps. Serum electrolytes also need to be evaluated. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Regards, Dr. Praveen Tayal , drtayal72@gmail.com
