Swollen gland at the leg

2017-10-22 01:59:18
I've been noticing a swelling on my leg below the knee at a particular place which looks like a small gland. This happens every month. The gland stays for 3-4 days and then goes away and again appears in the next month almost at or about the same time. I am a nurse working in operation theatre where I have to stand for long most of the times. Can this be a reason? Please help.

First of all,that’s not a gland swelling.Most probably it is the fluid accumulation is happening due to an old injury at that site or due to excessive pressure on particular joint leading to the same.
