What Causes Swelling In The Ankle And Calf?

I am really scared. I have swelling on my left ankle and calf. My left hip hurt when i try to walk. But then it get better in a few moments. I had a CT on Monday in the ER and they could not find anything. My left calf is pretty large and it is very tight compared to my right calf. I am not sure if the next thing is part of this but i will tell you anyway. For about 3 months i have i have diarrhea. I eat and within 15 minutes i have diarrhea and i go around 6 to 8 times per day or more. I have been taking fiber twice a day and i don t go as often but. I just saw the cost. Thank you anyway i don t have the money.

Hello,

The swelling in the ankle and calf is due to fluid retention, obesity, RA, venous insufficiency, cellulitis, developing CHF or kidney failure, sprains/strains or nutritional deficiencies. Get examine and evaluated, get medications.

You are having diarrhea just after taking food indicates that you have IBS, celiac disease or auto immune disease, colitis. Avoid fatty food or food that trigger diarrhea, eat smaller meals and stay away from stress.
