Well come to HCM
If you are having Urinary tract infection and having swollen legs then this need to be differentiated with renal condition because this could be due to the retention of urine may Nephritis, condition need to be taken seriously again you have some cardiac elements too, so this could be cardiac failure also, such case need several investigations, hope these information helps.
