Dear Mr.XXXX
Detailed Answer:
After reviewing your question, I recommend you to control salt in your diet, elevate your legs while resting and walk for 15-20 minutes daily to improve circulation and lower extremity swealling. In terms of upper extremity, you might have it from arthritis because fluid retention from circulation is unlikel.
