What Causes Swelling Between Knee And Ankle With No Pain?
My left leg between the knee and the ankle keeps swelling up. There is no pain with the exception of some pressure. I stopped drinking over 4 months ago as I had thought that the swelling was due to alcohol. I don't feel sick but am tired alot. I am 51 years old. I just took my blood pressure with a digital monitor and it is 102/72

Hello
i appreciate your concern
swelling in one leg could be due to DVT deep vein thrombosis or cellulitis of the leg
In my opinion you should consult your GP for examination and a battery of tests like blood for hemoglobin CBC ESR CRP and D dimer or an color doppler of leg
if you can upload me a photograph I will be able to guide you better
wait for your response
best wishes
