Hi Everyone,
For the past couple of days I have noticed swelling in my left foot/ankle and not my right. It gets better if i put my feet up, but when I am at work it sure gets puffy.
Should I be concerned?

I think it needs to be hot and red in the calf area to be a DVT(deep vein thrombosis) - but it may just be swelling popping up on one side only
. The fact that the swelling goes down when you rest it sound like it's just pregnancy related. Are you on your feet all day at work?
