What Do Swelling And Pain In The Lower Legs Indicate?
I have recently experienced swelling of the lower legs and burning, stabbing pain in the feet and ankles. Recent a1c levels are 6.9 and Glucose at 190. Are these symptom s of diabetes and is there any prevention or OTC vitamins or drugs to help me until then short of seeing my doctor who is booked into next month.

Hello,
First of all, the sugar seems to be in border line and needs to be correlated with both fasting and post meal.
If there is no history of high BP (Blood Pressure), we need to start with a B12 vitamin like Neurokind. The tingling sensation might be due to pedal edema.
Further investigation for cardiac and renal cause needs to be evaluated. Meanwhile, we can try to lift both limbs during sleep and a hot fomentation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Santosh Mishra
