hm. well that's an interesting question. i'm sorry you're having this problem when you've just begun an activity that should be good for your health not vice-versa! i'd recommend you get this checked out by a physician. many things could be causing the symptoms you describe. only a physical examination can begin to solve the mystery. best wishes on your fitness routine and i hope your leg problem gets resolved soon!
why does my leg ankle and foot swell. i am 70 years old. for about 2 months ago i have started to walk 2 miles a day on three days each week. now i have noticed that my right leg (calf ankle and foot) are swelling. is this due to the walking program i started or is something else going on? i would not think that 6 miles a week should matter.
