Swollen Legs And Feet
Edema, or swelling, in the legs or ankles is caused by fluid build-ups that lead to inflammation. Sometimes minor swelling is a result of sitting too long, but it should fade fast. Significant, painful, or sudden swelling should be immediately examined by a healthcare professional. Underlying issues like diabetes, venous insufficiency, and gout can cause this symptom.
