yearly kinda-personal work, cus I probably should. I was sparse a few months back mainly because of all of this, among other things. #spaceyart #spacey

I've been told it's edema, at what point does it get worse? are there signs to look out for? is this a heart issue thing or a haha lose ur legs idiot kinda thing? sorry to panic on you this just makes me think my doctor SUCKS? all she's ever said was sodium intake...

if watching your salt and fluid intake isn't helping, i would see a cardiovascular clinic and ask specifically for an ultrasound. you won't lose your legs, don't worry! but if left untreated there's nasty effects from blood and fluid pooling in the ankles. plus you can find out if you DONT have it

you might not have CVI, but b4 you find out, i would suggest compression socks all day, good hydration, no prolonged sitting, and elevate your legs above the heart for ten mins 3 times a day. those habits help avoid progression & vericose veins. also protip don't wear the socks while laying down.
