A member asked:
I have arthritis in both knees and from time to time my legs and feet swell. i scratched my leg and now have water dripping out of it. how can i stop?

A bit unusual: To "weep" from a minor abrasion or scrape. If you really are noticing that much swelling in your legs that scrapes lead to "weeping" this suggest you may need more aggressive control of your fluid balance/blood flow. You can start with leg elevation, but you may want to talk to your doctor about other management means like compression stockings or a "fluid pill"/diuretic.
