Symptom #2: Swelling

Swelling refers to the temporary abnormal enlargement of the affected body part due to the accumulation of interstitial fluid. It can be localized or generalized. It is generally harmless and is a common reaction to a bruise or inflammation.

Swelling is also considered to be one of the five hallmarks of inflammation along with loss of function, heat, pain, and redness. Swelling can occur as a response to disease, injury, and infection. Swelling is one of the common physical findings for reflex sympathetic dystrophy. It is often more prominent with dependency in early stages of the disease.
