Leg swelling generally occurs because of an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the tissues of the lower extremity. Common causes of leg swelling include idiopathic Edema (Swelling of Unknown Cause), overweight, Is older, salt retention, cellulitis, congestive heart failure, venous insufficiency, pregnancy, and medication side effects. Some tips that may help reduce swelling: 1. Put your legs on pillows to raise them above your heart while lying down. 2. Exercise your legs. This helps pump fluid from your legs back to your heart. 3. Follow a low-salt diet, which may reduce fluid buildup and swelling. 4.
