Swelling in the lower legs can be uncomfortable, and at times, a sign of something more serious. When swelling becomes persistent or worsens with time, it may be linked to underlying vascular or lymphatic issues. Leg swelling should never be ignored, especially if it’s accompanied by other symptoms like heaviness, aching, or skin changes.
At Refine Vein Center in Franklin, Tennessee, Dr. J. Avery Reynolds, MD, helps patients throughout Williamson County understand what’s causing their leg swelling and how to manage or resolve it. With extensive experience in diagnosing vein-related conditions, Dr. Reynolds offers non-surgical solutions to help you feel better and stay active.

Get Support for Ongoing Leg Swelling
Issues with the overall vascular system in your body that are left untreated can eventually cause issues with the lymphatic system. This is because the lymphatic system helps a failing vascular system, but over time, the weight of the extra work becomes too much for both. This can and often does lead to lymphedema.
