Yesterday completed a third round of lymphoma with Rituxan as main drug. 8 hour treatment with other drugs. Last night , the right leg swelled up at the shin to ankle level. At night, swelling went down. But on my feet for 4.50 hours doing light yard work today and and swelling came back. What should I do?

Hello,
As per the clinical co relation, any drug will not give rise to unilateral limb swelling as side effect or other issue. There sounds possibility of:
- Cellulitis of the right leg
- Lymphatic blockage
- Venous return disturbances through possible blockage.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
