A member asked:

I am 51 white female, my anlkes are swollen and i have red markings in my legs... when i press, they leave a dipple and hurts what's is my problem?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pitting edema: Sounds like pitting edema. Many things can cause swelling of the extremities; trauma, problems with veins, heart issues, kidney disease to name a few. I would recommend evaluation by your physician. Elevation and compression stockings may be helpful to treat the swollen areas.
