My legs are discolred, they swell, and are tender to the touch most times. Also my feet are painful and numb at times, but I was attributing that to some nerve damage I suffered from holes in my feet from being in a rotaprone bed when I had H1N1,double pneumonia, the acute respitory disorder. Plus I am overweight. Do I need to worry about this ASAP or just continue to try and lose weight? Thx
Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history. As there is a discoloration of the skin as per the history what I understand is that you need a thorough clinical examination and a diagnostic test for the vascular system to rule out any vascular insufficiency. As due to the block in the vascular system such symptoms can be felt. For pneumonia and other respiratory problems I will advise you to undergo a pulmonary function test and do some regular breathing exercises to improve the performance of the respiratory system. As you are obese exercises are a must but with due care as by doing exercise you shouldn't develop any musculoskeletal injuriesRegardsJay In Chat Doctor.
