i have had that problem with mostly 1 leg. most of the swelling (edema) is in 1 foot/ankle and can move up to my calf.
elevating the leg can help. also get a pair of compression hose (not too tight) from a medical supply store and wear them during the day. it can help a lot.
it's probably water weight unless you might have some blood vessels in your leg where the valves don't work well.
your dr will probably also evaluate whether your heart functioning is at fault.
do you have high blood pressure?
i bet it's something very mild. in the end the compression hose helped me the most.
