Default Arthritis won't cause your legs to swell, that sounds like heart or kidney condition

I do think this might have something to do with blood pressure in which case, I'm guessing they can prescribe something. Thanks again for writing.
You need full lab screens and appropriate scans. If your present doctor doesn't do it, go to an urgent care.
