A member asked:

Im obese, so bending in front is very difficult because of y belly but i still do it. today i noticed that when i bend my feet get a little bit dark and red in some parts. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

When you bend and your abdomen gets compressed significantly, this impedes return of blood upwards from your lower extremities into the upper venous system and this pooling of blood in your lower extremities causes this temporary & painless discoloration of the skin of your feet. This is harmless discoloration.
