What Causes Excessive Weight Gain And Swelling In The Calves?
My son who is 47 gained a lot of weight the last two years. Lots of eating and low activity and now is weighting about 310. His calves and feet have sollowen and his calves sometimes feel like they are burning. He recently started lowering his food intake, lower salt and sugar adding more veggies and fruit. Is there anything he can do to reduce the pain?

Hi,
Could it be a thyroid dysfunction ? You should get him tested for that . Also lifestyle changes should be done.
