Subject: swelling and pain in leg

hi everyone, hope you all have a lovely Easter holiday just wondered if anyone as had this or the pain

i wrote in a post regarding swelling ankles last week and said that my ankle has been swelling and it started from my knee down my calf and shin into my ankle and now my foot.
in the morning i wake up and my foot feels like its browsed and and a little stiff then after 1/2 hour the swelling starts and about 2 hours later if is very swollen and stays like it all day. if i move my foot or toes at any time its sore and feels browsed still.

also my calf muscle feels like its got stuck and has cramp in it all the time especially in the morning.

sorry to start the morning negative but i hate this pain and i can't get a doctors appointment until next week.i see the gp last week and it wasn't this bad.
help!!!

Hi davina you need to get this checked asap is the affected leg bigger than the other? red or swollen? if so it could be a dvt or a rupturdd bakers cyst or a cellulitis (infection under the skin causing swelling) if it were me davina i would be calling into oncall docs or the out of hours service xx

A severe itching started in my calf and has now spread to other parts of my body. I cannot stop scratching and red wheals have now appeared on my thighs,lower back, calf lower stomach and arms. The itching never stops and the rash continues to spread. I am unable to wear my right shoe any longer due to the swelling.
I was diagnosed with a Bakers Cyst before Xmas 2015.

Hi Kenneth, you really should seek medical advice red wheals could indicate an allergic reaction.
You could always pop along to the walk in centre or A&E department.
