Leg swelling can result from several conditions. It can also be linked to prolonged standing, certain medicines, kidney problems, liver disease, circulation problems and other causes. This is why self-diagnosis is unsafe. However, persistent or worsening swelling should be discussed with a medical doctor who will order special laboratory tests for a definitive diagnosis and treatment.
