Hello,
It can be a dependent edema. Other possibilities like venous thrombosis also be ruled out. Consult a general surgeon and get evaluated. An ultrasound with Doppler is required to make a diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care

Dr. Shinas Hussain
