How Can Edema On The Left Foot Be Treated?
Hi. I have had very bad edema for a while, I have been wearing compression socks and doing much better. My swelling has been going down significantly. Today I started to feel what feels like blood flow on the top of my left foot every few seconds. There is no pain and there is not swelling today. Is ther anything I should be worried about?

Hello and welcome to Healthcamagic.
Well,if this is caused by venous thrombosis then you should do ultrasound first to rule out deep vein thrombosis. Other causes can be treated by elastic stocking,keeping leg elevated and detralex ointments.
I hope I have answered your query. I wish you a nice day.
