They could be due to venous stasis because of (lack of movement and muscle tone).or kidney function disorder...get a kidney function test.and if clear then you should try being a bit active and move as you can walk even with assisting device or person...elevate your legs and try burgers exercise 1, Elevate feet on padded chair or board for 1/2 to 3 minutes.2, Sit in relaxed position while each foot is flexed and extended then pronated and ruminated for 3 minutes. The feet should become entirely pink. If the feet are blue or painful, elevate them and relax as necessary.3, Lie quietly for 5 minutes, keeping legs warm with a blanket.
