Hi
Thanks for your query

I'm Dr Sudhir Kumar

I have gone through your query and understand your concern. You should look for causes of red splotches. Causes can be deep vein thrombosis which can be investigated by Doppler ultrasound study. Diabetes can be investigated by blood sugar fasting levels. causes of bilateral edema feet can be excluded by heart and kindey function test.
Elevation of leg on pillow reduce swelling. Analgesic such as ibuprofen is useful for pain relief.

You can discuss with your doctor about it.

Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then I will be happy to help you.

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
