What Causes Swelling In My Leg Below The Knee?
What may cause swelling in the leg mostly from the knee down? my muscle and tend nts are very tender and it all started from under the outside of the right ankle bone for a few years and just got worst. I thought the swelling was just from arthritis Now its spreading on the inside of that same leg. Could arthritis and or a irritated nerve cause this ?even my foot is being affected by this with the change in the weather also! I had a bad car accident 20 years ago!

whatever you tell to me it looks like symptoms of venous congestion but I need to see the pic for the same to comment , arthritis beginning at ankles occurs in very few conditions only so its less likely.
