    swollen legs

    I am a 50 y/o wm, I have been taking blood pressure medication for a few years, a year ago I quit smoking and since then I put on some more weight ( I am 5'10" and 240lb now, I am slowly loosing those gained pounds), a few months ago I was diagnosed with a severe arthritis in my left hip ( for this I am taking some supplements to control the inflammation). Some 4 months ago I noticed my both legs were getting  heavily swollen during the day. The swelling goes down at night and is completely gone in the morning but when the day starts the cycle repeats over and over again. I feel no pain associated with the swelling, just the swelling and  deep into skin "rings" left by the socks. I wonder if there is anyone who would help me figure it out why am I having this condition.... I asked a few physicians  (friends) but I got nowhere with their help.
