I have been limping around for 2 days with pain and swelling from the knee through my calf but no redness. Wondering if you have to have cellulitis along with swelling for a DVT. I know I should Ask the Doctor but this forum gets more activity.

swollen feet
I had swollen ankles/feet last year and found out it was my high blood pressure medication causing it, so was switched to another, but then developed a cough, so then switched to Benicar with no problems. Sometimes medications can cause the feet and ankle swelling. My doctor also suggested getting up every 1/2 hour and walking around as all this sitting just does a number on our bodies. Epsom salt soak will help also. Mine occurred during the hot summer months.
RE: swollen feet
Mine swell, too. The only thing I can think of is to drink plenty of water throughout the day and walk around a bit when you can. Also, during your lunch break, prop your feet up. If you soak them, use tepid water, rather than hot.

Swollen legs & ankles - suggestions? (sm)
Does anyone else have a problem with leg and ankle swelling from sitting in the same position all day? Mine is worse than ever lately. Any suggestions of getting rid of and preventing this from happening again?
You bet I agree! Red splotches and swollen lips? It's sad we're more concerned... (sm)
