What Causes Swelling Of Hips And Legs?
I have a constant pain in my left leg going from my hip down to ankle almost all of the time. I have to either lay down and arrange my leg in a certain position for some comfort. It is worse when standing or walking and I ve noticed both of my legs get swollen from hips down to feet very frequently lately this has been going on for the better part of a year. Any idea as to what this could be? I am a 26 yr old female in relatively good health.

Dear Patient,
Bilateral swelling and pain with discomfort in both legs can have many causes, you should seek consultation with your specialist and get investigated, after examination we prefer to get doppler done to see the status of venous and arterial systems, blood investigations to rule out infection, and in some cases MRI to come to conclusion.
Thanks
