Last post on this topic had me going to a podiatrist. Got my toenails clipped, given a blood draw for organ functions, and put on an antibiotic for possible cellulitis. I was also scheduled for a PADnet test to determine if my poor swollen legs/feet were due to Peripheral Artery Disease. Bottom line: nope. Antibiotic didn't change the redness in my leg, and the PADnet test came out NORMAL, as did the blood work. The doc said she could refer me to a vein specialist if I wanted but otherwise seemed unconcerned.
This is the story of my life! Things happen. I get tested and tested, but the results are always normal, so no need to go back...with no explanation of why what's going on happens. It's up to me to figure out what to do next. Most of the time, I give up and just live with the problem, but that's insane because situations don't usually get better on their own. At least, not at my age. It's so very frustrating!
I guess my next move is to go back to my Primary Care Physician and ask where we go from here. Something is wrong. I want to know what so I can fix it, if I can. So here we go....
