Hi. I gave up smoking 6 weeks ago. I'm 37 and smoked for 25 years. I've put on some weight but noticed that my legs have started to swell up quite badly. I have had DVT's in both legs (in groin) in the last 8 years, last one was 3.5 years ago, so I know my circulation is really bad. Is this normal? I know what a DVT feels like and I know its not one of them. The swelling goes down if I put my feet up for a bit but with a lively 2 year old to look after thats not easy. Am eating well but drinking lots of coffee.
