Suggest Remedy For Edema In Legs And Feet

My husband has severe edema in both legs and feet. He has a difficult time walking or standing. His legs itch a lot and he scratches a lot. He is bent over and has bad back pain. Why does his skin on his legs look like big brown spots all over? Also, his physician said he has a possible malignancy and also could have myeloma. He refuses to go back to any doctor. I am very concerned. He just sits all day and sleeps in a chair all night. but gets very little sleep. Thank you, Lois

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that your husband is having probably heart disease. He may also have varicose veins. He needs clinical examination and heart function test. He can use elastic compression bandages. Diauretics such as frusemide will be of benefit. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. You can also write to me directly on below link:
