What Causes Lower Back Pain And Swelling In The Lower Legs?

I have swelling in my feet and lower legs with mild pitting edema. Pulses good. No pain, toenails blanch. I have herniated T5-6 & 6-7 as well as multiple bulging discs lumbar spine. Low back pain across entire waist area. Could swelling be due to the spine issues. Negative CXR, normal EKG, normal Lexiscan and normal cardiac cath. All done since January but swelling and edema started within the last two week.
