Hi, Symptoms include (1) swelling of lower leg from below the knee into the foot as well, (2) pain that is more prevalent if standing or doing anything really. (3) I also had a bloated stomach a day or 2 ago not sure about the correlation. (4) drug use should be mentioned. Methamphetamine. Red skin on the same leg that's stretchy, but meth always does this to the skin so I don't assume it's related. No other symptoms really. Is this an edema? Additionally, I noticed doing certain things helped to reduce the pain like for example standing or sitting in a weird way or holding it stretched out above the ground in front of me or exercising the leg. I was wondering if this relief is an indication of the edema being cured or receding,(metaphorically speaking [i think]). And do I need to go to the doctor if I manage this well?
