Swelling feet in teen

2018-02-12 21:14:47
Hello I am an 18 year old female who has been suffering years of swollen feet, toes and ankles. Always when hiking, sitting for long periods of time or when hot outside but happens frequently at random times. I also have veins that pop out. This all started at about age 12 and has only gotten much worse. Compressing socks help short term but only make my knees swell up instead.
