Hi Bruce: I still have the red, swollen legs. I wear Compression Stockings much of the time. But they are still nasty looking. I fell the other night on one my excursions and poked a hole in my leg. It is just oozing fluid from my left leg. My feet still turn Purple/Blue and the legs are very uncomfortable. As last visit it was a Vascular problem. The veins have little things that close to not allow the fluid and blood to go back down into my legs. So, the capillaries are engorged with blood going to my legs, it gets there and the heart doesn't pump fast enough to push the blood back up and the veins with the little stops don't work well enough to keep the blood up and not staying in the legs. I don't know. They are still red and shiny. I check my blood sugar, I walk on the treadmill every day, I wear those stocking, and I take my meds religiously. I would like my own legs back. I really miss them. But right now there are some other pressing matters. Please let me know if you ever find out what is going on? And I will do the same for you. Thanks Gina
