Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood the problems.

You have a bubbling feeling in the lower limbs and abdomen 2 years. Now you have varicose veins too.
Your weight of 240 lbs and height of 5'4'' indicates that you come under the category of Obesity as the calculated BMI is of 41.2.
This obesity is the main important reason for your painful bubbling sensation in the limbs as varicosity and associated lymphedema cause this sensation, as may be the same problem in the abdomen.

Another possibility of Hypothyroidism and Diabetes increasing these problems should be considered.

I would advise you the following:
-Get the detailed blood tests done including- CBC, lipid profile, thyroid, kidney, liver, sugar, HbA1c done to see for all the metabolic disorders.
-Other tests related to cardiac, abdominal and chest status
- Color doppler and ultrasonography of both the lower limbs and abdomen.
-Start weight reduction programs .
-Start using the stockings for varicose veins.
-Get the opinion of the specialists in concerned fields and you will be better.
_Get the surgery if indicated.
