 Hi cowboysfan,
Leg swelling, warmth, pain during walking, pain in the calf when toes are drawn upward toward the chest, may indicate a blood clot in the leg. Although other conditons for example, varicose veins can cause some of these symptoms, any sudden leg swelling accompanied by pain and redness warrants urgent medical attention.
Sincerely,
Rntdj
