Pain in legs and feet

I have been having aches and pain in the lower part of my legs and feet. My legs are swollen and when walking, I'll have to stop for the pain. My right hurts the worse. It doesn't really appear to be my joints, except my right ankle. I have had no injuries, nor have I hurt it in any way.

Hello, Anon.

Thank you for your message.

If you notice swelling in your feet or legs, you should see your primary care doctor. Pain, swelling, and/or edema (fluid), can be caused by many things and it’s important to find out what is causing it. Take note of what makes it better or worse. Your doctor will want to know how long has it has been present and whether there has been any change to the pattern of the swelling.
