ASR21 Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Hello everyone!! I've just recently been diagnosed with POTS/dysautonomia and I know that swelling in the hands and feet can be a problem, but has anyone ever had swelling in just ONE leg? For the past few days my left leg has been swollen and felt tight from the knee down. It isn't really painful, but it's difficult to straighten my leg out all the way. Just wanted to see if anyone had experienced this due to POTS/dysautonomia before making another trip to the doctor. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katybug Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Please seek medical attention for this immediately. This could be serious and is not a common Pots problem. It should be evaluated by a doctor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomtoGiuliana Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 I agree with Katie. However I will also add that I have swelling in my left leg at times. It's worse before my period and worse in heat. It resolves when I lie down/over night. My doctors have never been able to explain it, but it seems to be benign in my case. Swelling that does not resolve from what I understand, is more concerning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
