What Causes Swelling And Pain In Left Leg?
I have swelling and pain on my left leg below my knee and it is located more on the inside rather than on the front of my leg . It really is painful when I lay down. Hurts the least when I am standing I do not see any bruises, and I do not recall a bump or impact.

1. Please check with an orthopedic surgeon for any localised tender spot or to confirm sciatica or diabetes with relevant examination and investigations.
2. For maintenance therapy:
. take long acting preparation of pain killer ( cap indocap, after food)
. Quadriceps exercises.
. Avoid climbing stairs, sitting on floor, as far as possible.
. Foment with hot water bag
