[|Human|] Hi. My fiancee is a 33 year old female who recently started complaining about a large lump that appeared almost over night on the back of her right calf. It rests about 2-3 inches below the back of her knee. She has been complaining about periodic dull and sharp pain around the lump and her knees. Over the past 2 days, she has been keeping her leg elevated to reduce the pain. She doesnt have health insurance and I am scared to death. Can someone please advise?
[|AI|]  Swelling of the leg may involve a noticeable distension of the shin or calf, ankles, feet or toes.  Foot swelling may be a common occurrence which most of us will experience at some point in life after a long day of standing or sitting but may also be an indication of a more serious pathology as in certain cardiovascular disorders. Recurrent or persistent swelling of the feet should be investigated by a medical practitioner especially if you have a history of cardiovascular disease or have noticed a change in color, sensation or mobility of the leg, foot or toe.
