Edema also indicates poor circulation to the limb. Try keeping the leg elevated. You can use compression stockings too to avoid edema to your legs. Keep doing ankle pumping. If it does not subside, get a doppler test done too.

Hi lybrate user ,this might be due to growing pain , Many children have pains in their legs without any obvious cause and these are often called growing pains. Even though the child can be in a lot of pain, no damage is happening to the child's bones or muscles, and growing pains can respond to simple treatments like physiotherapy .

Im a footballer who got a meniscus tear and got recovered has pain when I bends my right knee but without having the body pressure on the knee. There is no pain during squats or running whatsoever. Only when I bend it while im sitting and also has to tighten my calf to feel this pain or I cannot feel the pain. Once I do it for several times the pain disappears. But comes back after I rest for a while. With rest this pain lessens a lot too. And I keep playing and the pain does’t go above a certain level but is still concerning. But comes back often. What is it?
