Several diseases and conditions may cause edema, including:
Lower leg swelling is often a symptom of an underlying condition, though the cause may also be generally harmless. For example, standing or sitting for too long in one spot, pregnancy, menstruation, and excessive body weight can all cause swelling, especially in the lower legs.
What if only one leg has sock marks?
Localized swelling, mass and lump, right lower limb R22. 41 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM R22. 41 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Localized swelling, mass and lump, lower limb, bilateral 43 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of R22. 43 - other international versions of ICD-10 R22. 43 may differ.

Lower extremity edema is the accumulation of fluid in the lower legs, which may or may not include the feet (pedal edema). It is typically caused by one of three mechanisms. The first is venous edema caused by increased capillary permeability, resulting in a fluid shift from the veins to the interstitial space.
The differential diagnosis of bilateral lower extremity edema includes venous thrombosis, heart failure, liver failure, nephrotic syndrome, hypothyroid myxedema, and venous insufficiency. The progressive swelling of lymphedema is often soft with pitting at onset and then advances to the classic firm, nonpitting edema.
Edema is swelling of soft tissues due to increased interstitial fluid. The fluid is predominantly water, but protein and cell-rich fluid can accumulate if there is infection or lymphatic obstruction. Edema may be generalized or local (eg, limited to a single extremity or part of an extremity).
The condition called edema arises when part of the body becomes swollen because fluid gathers in the tissue. It most commonly affects the arms and legs. That is called peripheral edema. Common early signs of peripheral edema include the following: An arm or leg starts feeling full or heavy.

Overview. Edema is swelling caused by excess fluid trapped in your body's tissues. Although edema can affect any part of your body, you may notice it more in your hands, arms, feet, ankles and legs.
Pedal edema causes an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the ankles, feet, and lower legs causing swelling of the feet and ankles. Two mechanisms can cause edema of the feet. Venous edema occurs due to increased capillary leakage that causes fluid to leak into the interstitial space from the venous system.
