From Nasty Knee to Swollen Leg

Suddenly noticed that my right leg, particularly around the ankle, was twice the size of the left. Thinking about DVT and so on, rapidly rang NHS direct and spoke to a nurse. We agreed that the cause was probably the stretchy but tight knee support I had been wearing, plus not resting the leg when seated, but they advised going to hospital and possibly having an x-ray today, so may do this. The swelling is down a bit this morning after a night's rest, but not completely disappeared. The pain is still a bit vile. I will have to rest the leg quite a bit if I am to go to France on Wednesday.
