There are many potential causes of leg swelling. Minor or mild causes include standing or sitting for long periods of time. Eating salty foods can also result in some swelling of the feet and ankles.

The medical term for leg swelling from excessive fluid in the tissues is peripheral edema. Persisting indentation of a swollen leg after pressure from a finger is known as pitting edema. Common causes of leg swelling include salt retention, cellulitis, congestive heart failure, venous insufficiency, pregnancy, and medication side effects.
