The older I get the more problems I have!

Do your ankles/legs swell up throughout the day or mostly in the later half of the day? Like when you wake up in the morning, are they puffy? When you poke your shin with your fingers (hold for a second or two), and does the flesh/skin bounce back, or does it have a dent that stays for a while? If so, it is often fluid retention. I know from experience that this could lead to other things such as kidney failure or weakness. Make sure to keep track and hopefully please see a medical person at your clinic. You may even want to get a blood test to check the kidney functions. Best of luck to you.

I got 9 years on ya, and while I've never had frostbite, I have in the past had some swelling problems. I started getting the "arch support" socks and those have REALLY helped keep the swelling down in my feet. I don't each much salt so that's not a problem, in fact, I'm one of those who actually can get low on salt in the summer because I eat so little.

They say that with age comes wisdom, well that's not all it comes with hun. As I have grown older I have managed to acquire osteoarthritis in all my joints, swollen legs and ankles, increased weight as the ability to exercise decreases, some degenerative nerve damage in my neck and I'm only 58
