Edema: A 36 yo with lower extremity edema does not seem age appropriate. You should consult a physician to determine the reason for it. Otc compression hose can help in the mean time. There could be a reason for this you would not want to let go without treatment for for to long.

Elevate & Compress: Typically, one should first get evaluated by a vascular specialist despite your young age.This specialist can perform a simple noninvasive test that can see below the skin and determine if there are any issues with the vessels.They may recommend compression stocking with elevation when at rest (sleeping & sitting).Or they may need to suggest other forms of surgical procedures if they find anything.
