Leg swelling generally occurs because of an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the tissues of the lower extremity. Common causes of leg swelling include idiopathic Edema (Swelling of Unknown Cause), overweight, Is older, salt retention, cellulitis, congestive heart failure, venous insufficiency, pregnancy, and medication side effects.
Some tips that may help reduce swelling:
1. Put your legs on pillows to raise them above your heart while lying down.
2. Exercise your legs. This helps pump fluid from your legs back to your heart.
3. Follow a low-salt diet, which may reduce fluid buildup and swelling.
4. Wear support stockings (sold at most drugstores and medical supply stores).
5. When traveling, take breaks often to stand up and move around.
6. Avoid wearing tight clothing or garters around your thighs.
7. Lose weight if you need to.

It is oedema , for that matter any swelling could be an oedema . If swelling is only on one side it usually is due to local cause, I mean some injury or any other apparent reason . Is there anything that you can recollect? But despite that as a conservative remedy you can do the foot end elevation. Is there any redness or any discolouration?
