Eeek!! A curious swelling, what on earth could it be?

Oh my I would be quite concerned about that, thinking blockage. Edema can be serious. Let us know if everything it ok, goodness.

yeaahhh im with irish on this.. id seek a doc as quick as possible and find out whats going on

That is really scary, and it makes me wonder if you have some form of cellulitis or something. I also wondered about right heart failure.. seems it can make the left leg more swollen, but I forgot so much from my nursing days I could be wrong on that. You really should get that seen about.

It looks like serious water retention to me. Maybe the cause of bad circulation as well. But anyway, as others have suggested, definitely go to the doctor; even if the symptoms go away, they may be a sign of something more serious.

hi rose
did you eat salty food to day or yesterday? did you walk or stand alot? that's cause of fluid build up on the tissue...check your doctor as soon as you can...just concern..

My goodness gemini_rose I'd be going to the doctor if I were you...as others may have suggested here that is some kind of water retention and perhaps enema?? Please get it checked out though

My Goodness sweety - and this wasn't as bad as it was? I was going to say it could be water retention with the hot weather this sometimes gets worse! It may be nothing to worry about sweetheart but I really want you to try and see the dr first thing - please - just to be sure that it is nothing serious - if you cannot get an appointment I would suggest you go to the nearest casualty! I am not trying to scare you and as I said it could be nothing but with a swelling that bad you really have to check it out! xxx

I have experienced this once but that was both legs and it was due to water retention from the heat and having been on them too long. I am not a doc so wouldn't like to say for sure especially as it is only the one. Are you sure there is no bite sometimes they can be so miniscule, also a friend of mine was bitten on the arm by a horsefly and it swelled up like that went down and a year later swelled up again with no bite being apparent. I hope it goes down and suggest you raise leg up when resting, but seek advice if still bad tomorrow. Ellie:D

PS LOL I wouldn't dare bare my legs on here!!! Only added that you you told us not to laugh at them and I have never been one to do as I am told. Ellie:D xx

Gemini,
This area...is it hot? I mean is it hotter to the touch than the other foot? Is it painful? These are things that might indicate a clot. If not then there might be as Ellie said a bite. It wouldn't be edema in one foot and not the other.
I would have it checked but I don't think it's the heart as this is usually a symmetrical swelling in both legs.
It might just be an atopic dermatitis which is a fancy name for an allergic reaction on the skin.
Let us know would you? I would like to see how your doing with this! Good luck and you keep off that foot and keep it raised ok?

Yipe!!! I would go to the emergency room to get it checked out. Even though its not hurting, it seems pretty serious to be swelling like that for no apparent reason. Are you sure you didn't get bit by something? The leg may be swollen too much to see where you got bit. Also, since you say you took a stroll home, maybe you brushed against something you are allergic to. I don't really know what's going on, but I do know that legs simply do not swell up for no reason. If I were you, I would get it checked out just to make sure it isn't something serious.
