Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement 's  Response
Hello,
I have studied your case and I think that you might be having hypertension and sodium retention.I would suggest you to get your complete heart check up and also sodium level. If there is high blood sugar or low thyroid then it can also cause such swelling.
I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
