A member asked:
Swelling in calves - not painful - but unbearable pressure, weight and tightness like a water balloon overfilled about to burst - hard to walk stairs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible cause: Are you taking your medicines? Any recent blood work? Has this weight gain been sudden or gradual? Does the swelling improve after sleeping? Are you watching your diet and following your blood sugar at least daily?
