Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of doctor should I see for swollen legs in Queens?›
A vascular specialist is a good starting point when swelling comes with heaviness, varicose veins, skin changes, walking pain, cold feet, diabetes, or wounds. At M&S, vascular and orthopedic clinicians can also evaluate joint, tendon, foot, or walking-mechanics contributors.
Can leg swelling be from venous insufficiency?›
Yes. Chronic venous insufficiency can cause ankle swelling, heavy or tired legs, aching, itching, varicose veins, brown skin discoloration, restless legs, and slow-healing skin changes near the ankle.
When is leg swelling urgent?›
Sudden one-sided swelling, calf pain, warmth, redness, severe pain, chest pain, shortness of breath, fever, or blue/black toe color changes should be checked urgently because a blood clot, infection, or severe circulation problem may be possible.
