What Causes Swelling On The Right Leg?
My right leg and foot are extremely swollen. I had an ultra sound re: possible blood clot and I do not have one. I don t think it is cellulitis as I had that 2 years ago in my left leg. My toes are hard to bend. I don t think it is my weight because I was 195 lbs and am 5 5 and this did not happen to my leg. I am now 175 and cannot believe my leg. thank you.

Hi,
Causes of unilateral swelling of the lower limbs are- infection, trauma, problems with the lymph supply in the leg, clot, varicose veins.
Further in-depth imaging and blood tests may be needed to determine the exact cause.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
