Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are having Unilateral (left sided) lower limb painful edema (swelling).
So possibility of cellulitis (skin infection) and DVT (deep venous thrombosis) is more.
Both these diseases are common in active smoker.
So better to consult doctor and get done clinical examination of left lower limb, ultrasound examination of swollen part and venous doppler study.
Better to quit smoking as soon as possible because it is not a good habit.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
