Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Calves And Feet
I have had swelling of the feet and calves on both legs for about a week and a half. The skin feels tight and it burns when a try to squat down or rotate my ankles. I am being treated for diabetes II, high blood pressure and high chloresterol. My endocrinologist said I needed to consult my primary care physician, but I haven t had time to wait in the office for 2 hours to see him when he is working.
go to your family physician: it may be due to hypertension (therapy may need an adjustment), an infection due to diabetes, and a lot of other diseases needing a visit more than a web consult
