My brother-in-law is extrememly overweight, with very very swollen feet that appear shiny. He also has neuropathy and sometimes cannot even walk. He seems very depressed about his weight. He does have some heart problem but has not seen a cardioligst. The dr. wants an mri with a camera and he did not fit in the closed one. Because of his feeling very badly and icy roads he missed the open mri. This is thru VA. Dr. will not see him until he has the MRI. My sister wants to know if she should take him to the ER because of the shinyness on the feet which is a very new symptom. thank you. They do not have a computer.
