I am so sorry to hear about what you are experiencing. Swollen lower legs cannot be caused by a pinched nerve. Pinced nerves cause paiin rather.
Each time both lower legs are swollenn, we must investigate teh heart;, liver, kidneys and your nutritional status. I will suggest tht you get consulted by your primary care physician who would establish the most likely cause and direct you to the right specialist for a more omprehensive and exhaustive evaluation.
The possibility of a pinched nerve coexisting with either of this pathology is not zero. So we shold be observant.
Thanks for using our services. Hope you find this helpful. Dr. Ditah, MD
