What Causes Swelling And Itching In The Lower Legs?
My partner has been an avid meth user for 20 plus years, he has started to get very swollen & itchy lower legs & feet, as well as excessive heartburn which he has never had before, because he is in the drug addiction = sex addiction cycle (not with me) he refuses to go to the doctor, could this be as serious as I feel it is???

Hello,
I suspect possible circulatory disturbances in lymphatic system or else responsible for the swelling and itching legs.
Heart burn can be stress, anxiety induced, associated gastric or duodenal ulcer.
I would recommend to make him consult with an expert physician before the condition worsens.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
