What Does Swelling On The Left Ankle And Foot Indicate?
For about the last 4 days I have had swelling (edema?) on my left ankle and foot. the right is fine. This is all day, even when I wake up. Also, lots of dull ache and restlessness in my left thigh and knee - worse in the evening. I had uterine cancer/hysterectomy with removal of a couple of lymph nodes to check for more cancer last august. Is there a connection? Can I take tylenol for the ache? Do I need to see a doctor?
