Bilateral leg edema is swelling of the soft tissues of the legs. The condition can be merely a daily nuisance, or signal a serious underlying condition. A physician should be consulted to determine the cause and begin appropriate treatment.
How to do it: 1  Lie on your back with one leg resting on a chair, knee bent at 90 degrees, while the other leg is extended straight out and resting on the floor. 2  Make sure both legs are aligned with the hips and shoulders. 3  The foot of the extended leg should be propped upright to preventing it from rolling to one side.
