What Causes Swollen Foot And Leg With The History Of Sciatica Radiculitis?

2 months ago suffered from right sciatic radiculitis. Resulted in foot drop. Doing better. Going to PT 5 times a week. Why does th right foot and right leg swell during the day? Wake up with right leg not swollen. No leg pain. No trauma. What do you think could be the reason? Thanks; Arodad1

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such swelling could be due to some circulation disturbances and may be due to low hemoglobin, beside this other systemic reason need to be ruled out, and this could be cardiac disease, renal pathology and others, hope this helps, take care and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
