I had a recent knee injury with a shin laceration to add to the joy. Knee swelling kind of went low into calf and ankle. Issue I don t understand is my lower leg feels like modeling clay. I press on the swelling and it tender and stays indented like memory foam. Eventually returns but I am concerned about what this means
Welcome to Chat Doctor I have gone through your query and understand your concern. You are having swelling of your leg and its indent on pressing. It is called pitting edema. It means you are likely to be having some generalized disease such as heart, kidney and liver disease. So you can get your heart, kidney and liver function test. You can discuss with your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you. Wishing you a good health.
