Swelling from bottom of calf on down!

Forgot to mention that it is all a red color when the swelling is going on

The MRI is not neccessary.

You are retaining water.

You are a woman.

Got the mri and the doctor said that I have some fluid sac in my ankle swelled up. Also said that I have a stress reaction in my heel. Could this actually be the cause for this lower leg swelling?! I'm still not convinced that is why this is going on... any help would be appreciated!

The MRI would have likely found anything else that would be causing it, so yes, the doc is probably right. I hope that you're going to stop the calf raises and such. Maybe hit the pool for a month or so?

yes, a response other than being pregnant! Yeah I actually had the mri last thursday and havent run or done strengthening stuff since then. Doc also put me in a boot until this thursday and then I will be able to start doing some poolrunning/elliptical for 1-2 weeks then.

I have had swelling from the bottom of my calf down through my soleus and into my achilles/ankle for some time now. I had achilles tendonitis/tendonopathy for about 7-8 weeks. I dont have any pain now and do many sets of eccentric calf raises throughout the day. It seems to swell up most when just sitting in a chair. I'll also feel tingling in my toes when it swells up too. Icing makes it go down immediately. Like it will be swollen and as soon as I put ice on it, you can actually see the swelling in the areas go down. Could it possibly be a blood clot? Or could it be something with the achilles causing this? I have an mri tommorrow but am just curious to if you guys have had this before. Thanks guys!

Sounds like you're getting cankles! I love em ;)
