In 2017,I had a very tough year. My right leg was swollen and flushed all of a sudden. I thought it was incurred by sport injury or incorrect exercise. Checked with rehabilitation and orthopedics and then transferred to cardiology in three months, there was no real answer. So the doctor tried to ask my past history of illness and find possibilities.
