What causes swelling in lower leg?
Patient: My lower right leg is swollen,with fluid like feelin.when I press on it the fluid like feelin moves down and you can actually see it and then my skin has my finger indention in it for several minutes. But I can move whatever it is. Went to Er they checked for blood clots and found nothing.can u please help. Doctor: What you describe is pitting edema, and can be caused excessive fluid in your body which you can get with heart failure,or kidney failure, although I would expect it to be on both legs.My advise is to get a proper examination by a physician for general complete health assessment.I hope that answers your question.
