They seem to be swollen and have splotches of red around ankle area and on top of the feet. I know that I am overweight and that s a problem, but what could this be signs of?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Do you have Diabetes?, Cardiac problems or on any medication?. These and other organ ailment can cause leg and feet swelling. More so since you are on your feet for long. The best way to prevent feet and leg swelling is to wear grade 2 compression stockings from toes to knees, in the morning when the swelling is minimal, wear it throughout the day, and remove it while sleeping.
