Feet swelling and redness
I have been facing swelling on my feet since 5-6years now. There is a certain redness that also comes when the feet starts to swelling. There is a slight pain in the calves and muscle pain in the body I general.
The swelling happens to be only near ankle area.
I was earlier diagnosed with fibromyalgia and PCOD as well.
My regular tests seems to be fine in terms of cholesterol and thyroid as well.
Unable to understand why the swelling pops in every day.
