What Causes Swelling In The Arms, Hands, Legs And Ankles?

Hi, I have recently noticed that on the left side of my body (my arms and legs; esp. noticed in my wrists/hands and ankles/feet) have been swelling. It wasn t painful at first, my mom thought I was possibly retaining water and it would come and go {Although kind of weird to me that it was only my left side}. Lately it has been steadily constant in my left foot/ankle and because of the swelling, I am now sore. I take multiple medications (hypertension/ M.S. Should I see my doctor? Could it be the humidity - If so, Why didn t this happen before? Thanks for your Help

Hello

As you explain the situation in my opinion you should see your doctor
This is not related to humidity but with organ problems.Your doctor for sure will ask a blood check up for you to find the cause.
