What Is The Treatment For Swollen Legs?

Hi , my mom s legs are having swelling and she usually has a high blood pressure , her Dr gave her medications Blokatens that increased the swelling even more ! and he admitted that ! then gave her another medicines but we ve lost trust in him so , I am hoping that you can help us . One of her legs are now secreting water , or a clear fluid and she has some red dots forming on her legs , Not a lot though but they appear to have water ( I don t know if they are ulcer or not ) in them I think she used antibiotic creams that did some effect at the beginning but not so much now so she discontinued using them , they weren t prescribed for her . when we press on her leg it turns back in few seconds , so it doesn t go deep nor is at normal speed in returning back , in between. Note , her legs have swelling since really long I hope we can treat that . Thanks .

Hi, as you desribed your mother's problem. No need to worry, this kind of swelling is not related to musculoskeletal problem may be due to some other reasons. A consultation from a cardiologist may help you in this. Might be it is due to some vein related problem or other systematic condition. I wish a good health for your mother.
