What Causes Swollen Legs And Intermittent Left Sided Calf Muscle Pain?

I have had pain in my left calf on and off for the last 5 days. Both legs have been swelling up with the left swelling more than the right. At times my left foot will be tingling when I am having the pain. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you

Hi,

Swollen legs with calf pain may be due to peripheral vascular disease or varicose veins or cellulitis with compartment syndrome or anemia or cardiac or renal failure, etc.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Please get it done complete blood picture, urine examination,renal function tests or ECG and echo cardiography then consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu, Internal Medicine Specialist
