Hi,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.
I can understand your concern.
There could be several causes for that. Is there any other swelling like swelling of face or abdomen. You should be investigated for that. Diseases effecting cardiac or liver or kidneys can cause swelling of limbs. Along with that there are several other causes also. After a physical examination investigations should be done depending on the examination findings. Further treatment depends on the diagnosis made.
Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
