Behind the knee puffiness/swelling

Anyone notice this? Just happened to be shaving....and noticed both legs behind the knee are puffy but the left leg is slightly worse. There's no pain or redness. Just kind of weird looking. There is a tiny red mark - maybe something from shaving. My feet and ankles aren't swollen but my hands are slightly. Trying not to over react, hoping it's just normal water retention/swelling.

  • If it's only a little puffy, I wouldn't worry about it unless you've also gained a ton of weight in the last few days. I've been puffy for weeks and the doctors just acknowledge it and move on. Might as well mention it at your next appt just to be safe though.

  • Yes! My swelling has only gotten bad in the last couple weeks, however, the behind the knee/calf swelling has been present for a month or two. It's horrible! I feel like my legs might explode if I sit forward on them. Hopefully it all magically disappears after delivery :)
