Swelling in one foot only

Posted By Denise on May 22, 1999 at 16:36:41
I hope someone can help me.  My daughter is 20 weeks pregnant with a normal pregnancy.  BP/urine, etc. is all ok.  For the past 3 weeks, she has had severe swelling on the right foot, ankle & part of her calf only.  It is painful but not red - no apparent bite marks.  They did an x-ray and nothing is broken.  Her ob/gyn said to lay on her left side as much as possible but it hasn't helped.  Dr. told her to take Tylenol and she'll just have to live with it.  I do not feel this is normal at all - her left foot & leg are normal.  Her previous pregnancy had no problems like this.  I am very concerned for her.  Is there a different type of doctor she should go to?  Should we be concerned about this - she can't wear regular shoes.  She did not injure the foot to her knowledge - I know it is terribly uncomfortable for her and she has to be on her feet a lot at work.  We would sincerely appreciate any help.
