my step dad has had problems with swelling of his legs since summer. currently his toes are turning blackish. Over the past he has regularly seen several drs. family phy, heart, kidney, etc. But nobody is concerned over his legs swelling, just tell him to elevate them and cut back on the salt. I am wondering if he might have a vascular condition or something else. He has had a pacemaker installed and 2 stints in the past 30 days. While in the hospital it goes down 75%. Once home in rapidly swells. Home care nurses don t seem concerned either. His feet and legs are cold too. I need an area to direct the drs to get things checked out,.
