What Causes Swelling Of Leg & Groin?
My right leg from the groin dow and my right foot has been swollen for about 6 weeks. I have MS and thought that was the cause. The specialist said no. He felt it was either vascular or kidney. Iv e been thru a host of tests for my heart & circulation and everything is normal. My kidney function is fine & I just had an ultra sound of my kidneys. i haven t recieved any results from that test yet. What can be causing 1 leg & foot to swell?
