What Causes Swollen Legs And Ankles And Pain Between Knee And Thigh?

My legs and ankles have been swollen for the last couple days now like I don't have any circulation. The inside of my right leg in between my knee and thigh hurts a little when I stand and walk like it right on my artery. Is this a clot? And if not why is this happening

hi, thanks for your question,
If there is significant swelling in the lower limb , then it may be necessary to do arterial and venous doppler of that limb to see the patency / incompetency of valves / perforators.This is the best way to go about.
