I am not sure what type of specialist to see for swelling in both my legs. I had a tick bite in June of 2009 and I was diagnosed with Powassan Encephilitis (sp). I was under care and hospitalized with this condition. I am still seeing doctors, but they can t seem to pin point it.
Hello, Powassan is a rare tick-borne disease caused by a virus. It can cause swelling in the brain. It should be evaluated by different specialists. The more important consult is by the neurologist due to the fact that it causes encephalitis which is an inflammation of the brain. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
