Take some ALEVE and ice it down a few days if not better,,,see a doctor.

um pitting edema comes for fluid in the space between your tissues and cells. Either you're in heart or kidney failure, you have a ton of sodium in your system, or you have something blocking blood or lymph vessels causing fluid to back up in the area. either way, go to a Dr.

not scare you the chance it is anything but a blockage of lymph or blood vessels is unlikely, but you can never be sure.
