What are the different things I may have?
About a month ago I started having heel pain like they were bruised, about a 12 days ago I started having calf pain in my left leg, about 6 days ago my left knee started hurting and swelling in the middle back and front top left of knee, now I notice that leg looks a little bigger from the knee down and my socks leave deeper indentations than my right leg. Three days ago I started taking Ibuprofen 4 each x 3 a day and pain went away and I bought inserts for my work shoes but the swelling persists I have a job where in the last month or so I have had to sit most all day at work some days and other days I have to make rounds where I walk a mile or so a day. My pain would come when I would get up from sitting. I am 55 and have had asthma all my life and gained from 140 to 175 after doctor took me off Theophylline (25 years) and put me on Symbicort 2 years ago. Pack a day smoker for many years till a couple years ago and now I just chew nicotine gum and smoke little cigars when I drink beer on weekends. Hope my heart is not getting weak and building fluid in body. I am going to the walk-in clinic Monday after work because my doctor is booked till may.
