I was sitting down having a conversation when out of nowhere my legs (knees down and the way to my toes) swelled up really bad. I got up for a bit, but it only seemed to make it worse. Elevating is helping a little, but I'm still swollen. Is this normal? Is my body trying to tell me something is wrong?
Re: Sudden swelling! Is it normal?
Swelling can be normal or it can be a sign of something more serious (blood clots, pre-e, etc). To be totally blunt - if they really suddenly swelled out of nowhere I don't know why you wouldn't immediately pick up the phone and leave a message for your dr's office instead of asking here.

No, it's not normal.
Yes, you need to call your doctor.

How the hell are you supposed to know? (quoting you, not adding snark) Well how the hell are we supposed to know? If you come on here with a question along the lines of, my bump itches, what's a good lotion? We'll give you answers. If you come on here with a question that could be a legitimate medical issue and should be discussed with your dr that's what we'll tell you.
