I honestly do not know. I would recommend making a Dr.s appt even with
you reg GP asap. My step dad also has really really swollen legs. When
he wears socks they make horrible indents and cut of the cirulation. The
Dr. says it might be from hes leaking heart valve, Diabetes or Water
retention. I hope your Dr. can answer some of your questions.
