Hello, Anon. Thank you for writing.

Foot, leg, and ankle swelling is also known as peripheral edema, which refers to an accumulation of fluid in these parts of the body. The buildup of fluid usually isn't painful, unless it's due to injury (or infection). Have you injured your leg or foot? Did this come on suddenly? If a physical injury is ruled out, there may be an underlying medical contion causing the pain and swelling. Your doctor will be able to tell you more after an examination.
