Dr. Kapadwala, a podiatrist located in Brooklyn-Ridgewood, New York, discusses the causes, symptoms and treatments of swelling in the legs and feet.
Swelling in the legs and feet can generally occur because of an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the tissues of the lower extremities. The medical term for leg swelling from excessive fluid in the tissues is peripheral edema. Persisting indentation of a swollen leg after pressure from a finger is known as pitting edema. When there is no indentation after a pressure from a finger, it is known as non pitting edema. Common causes of leg swelling include salt retention, cellulitis, congestive heart failure, venous insufficiency, pregnancy, and medication side effects. Less common causes of leg swelling include blood clots in the leg (deep vein thrombosis), parasite infection, lymphedema, liver disease and cirrhosis, kidney disease and nephrotic syndrome, fracture in leg, ankle or foot, and diseases that cause thickness of the layers of skin, such as scleroderma and eosinophilic fasciitis. When leg swelling occurs for unknown reasons, it is referred to as idiopathic edema.

At our office, we can evaluate for possible causes of pitting and not pitting swelling in the lower extremities. Moreover, we offer a full range of non-invasive vascular testing to determine if the swelling the legs and feet is coming from any circulation problems. Once the cause of swelling is diagnosed, we can offer the best treatment options, manage it by controlling the risk factors and, in some cases, refer to proper specialist for further medical management of the peripheral edema. So if you are suffering from swelling in your legs and feet, you should make an appointment with us for a thorough evaluation and a comprehensive treatment plan.
