When I told her my left ankle and foot were swelling at times and I'd not had that problem before surgery....she just said “I know”.... and went on typing though I'd never mentioned it before and never addressed the issue..
Sounds like it’s time for you to find another doctor. When my family doctor of many years moved to S.C., I asked my Endocrinologist to take over that job. He agreed. And when my Rheumatologist retired, my Endocrinologist took over prescribing my anti-inflammatory too. I’ve managed to turn 3 co-pays into only one. I see him every six-months after having fasting blood work. And he’s old school, doesn’t rush you through the visit like most doctor’s do these days.
Okay, pre-covid, I was getting changed for bed and noticed that my right foot seemed swollen and larger than my left, also my right calf seemed larger than the left. I had a pain in the muscle in the calf. Went to the doctor next day and got and ultrasound. Found out I had a blood clot in my leg.
He gave me a prescription for a blood thinner and it worked rather quickly. Don't delay, go to the doctor. It may not be a blood clot; but, better to be sure.
