Swelling on only one side?

For the last day I've had swelling (not terrible or all the sudden) on only my left side. My left ankle and my left hand is fairly swollen. There's some pain in my ankle but nothing in my hand. My face or eyes are puffy so I don't think it's preeclampsia. What do you ladies think?

It wasn't sudden but thank you. Their office is closed for the day and I have an appointment in the morning so I'll ask about it then. I'm just gonna elevate that side and relax for the night

Sudden swelling of one side is a sign of preeclampsia. Call your ob
