What Causes Severe Swelling In Legs,ankles And Feet?

For several weeks I ve had severe swelling in my legs, ankles and feet. So bad you can actually watch as they swell up. My legs feel restless sometimes. My skin feels so right it s uncomfortable to stretch my feet out. I have always had a problem with my feet falling asleep and it s extremely painful when they wake back up. I drink about half of the water I probably should be. Although the it is the only thing I really drink outside of one can of diet Pepsi. I probably take in too much salt. I spend a lot of time in my car driving or sitting at my desk. I used to have a very physical job but three yes ago I took on a new job that was less physically demanding. About two months ago I spent four hrs on my knees pulling weeds and since then I can even began to describe how painful it is to rest on my knees. Can you help?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, for the pain and swelling NSAID can be tried, and best would be Tab Diclofenac 50 mg once in day, clinical examination is must to know the underlying cause of this, it is some time concern with age and gender but this is absent here, try to keep the leg in elevated position, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
