My Right Leg Is Swollen From Knee To My Toes, Right Knee Pain And Some Swelling, Left Leg Has No Swelling What Are These Symptoms?
Probably rheumatoid arthritis, follow the advice below.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
In my opinion your symptoms seem to be related to arthritis rheumatoid.
This diagnosis would explain symptoms like pain and swelling.
To confirm the diagnosis I would suggest the following examinations :
-rheumatoid factor blood levels
-C-reactive protein blood levels
-erythrocyte sedimentation rate blood levels (ESR)
-x-ray of the leg
Meanwhile,you can continue taking anti-inflammatory medication like Advil.
You can also use anti-inflammatory gels like Voltaren gel for local relief.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

I suggest doing a blood test for Lyme before taking medication.
Detailed Answer:
Hi again,
I suggest you to do the blood test for antibodies to the bacteria of Lyme disease.
I don't recommend taking the medication for Lyme disease without first confirming the diagnosis.
Lyme disease treatment consists in antibiotics,which has many side effects.
These medications should be taken only if necessary.
Take care,
