What Causes Swelling In Leg Of A Person Suffering With Fibromyalgia?
I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia but my left leg is always swollen, you can tell the difference by just looking at both legs. I have constant pain in both my calves and behind my knees but it concerns me with the swelling. I have had vericose surgery on my left leg 2 times.

Hi
You need Doppler venous studies of both legs to check for deep venous thrombosis--a clot in a large leg vein.
This would be the most likely cause of your problem
