yes one morning I work up and had pain in my left calve and then noticed swelling in my inside lower leg but not all the way around went to doctor first he said kidney disease then I did a urin sample and that wasn t the case then went for a ultra sound for blood clot it came back negative...the ultrasound woman said she believed it was cellulitis but I took antibiotics it didn t help...my problem is that it almost goes away except small amount of fluid and some hardness under the skin. it still swells up time to time. but never completely goes away. always I can push on my shin area and there is little fluid in which when I push in it leaves a dent...what could this be
Welcome to Chat Doctor I have gone through your query and understand your concern. You have rule out kidney disease, blood clot and cellulitis. You are advised to rule out congestive cardiac failure as a cause of this swelling as it is pitting (dent appear on pressure). Furthermore, you can get echocardiogram for this and advise consulting cardiac physician for it. 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. Take care.
