Which Specialist Do I Need To Consult For Swollen Foot And What Could Be The Solution ?
I have a problem in my foot which is swelling if sitting in a same position more than 15 mts.If i go to bed/get back to sleep it is reduced,continuing since 2 years...I consulted with doctor ,my kidney , heart ,urine & blood every thing normal...but he says something insufficiency in blood cisculation....What is the solution to my problem..
It is venous insufficiency my dear. Veins have valves in them which allows only 1 way flow of the blood. Sometimes these valves become defected so the blood pools in the dependent part of body e.g. feet. Do u also have varicose veins? You should consult a general surgeon.
