What Causes Swelling In Leg And Feet After A Toenail Removal?

I am a soon to be 75 year old woman. I recently had an ingrown toenail removed because my toe and foot were swelling and causing severe pain. After it was removed the pain became worse and my leg up to my knee swells up as soon as my feet touches the ground. There is a constant dull pain shooting up and down my leg and feet all day and everyday. My leg swell so big that my skin cracks and causes with sores. I have had an X-ray, MRI, blood test and liver ultrasound to find why my feet and leg continues to swell. The doctor as of today have told me that there in no diagnoses to this problem
