Strange leg swelling problem

Hi guys,

I've been dealing with a strange leg swelling problem for about an year now.

This is what it is. My left calf swells. There's zero pain. No weird sensations. No change of skin color or texture. No warm feeling. When i wake up it's gone probably because the leg is elevated. Then at the end of the day it's there again. It's not tender, but it is very slightly more fluidy than my right calf.

When i first started experiencing this i consulted a doctor, blood reports came and nothing was wrong. The doctor insisted that since the whole leg was not affected, it was either an injury or an infection and not to freak out. So with my busy schedule i completely let it go.

About my medical history, i have strained my left ankle a couple of times before this started happening. But not after

And here i am again, anxious and worried. Nothing has changed after a year. It hasn't gotten worse, or better. It disappears in the morning and says hi to me in the evening again. Other than this i have no other symptoms and is perfectly healthy in every way.

Please help me

Thanks a lot!

Oh and i forgot to mention that it first started when i was walking down the stairs and i felt a sharp pain in my lower leg. After about a month the pain disappeared. But the swelling stayed. A tried wrapping it thinking it was a damaged muscle, wrapped it for about a month and nothing changed. And it's been a year now
