My legs are making me worry
by nellvegas, Apr 08, 2008 05:39AM
Over the past few weeks, my lower legs/ankles have felt very weak. I have developed strange splotches--rash-like--on my shins, and my spider veins are increasing. I'm overweight, and have a family history of diabetes. I also have experienced swelling around my ankles. I'm 43, but have no medical insurance, so I haven't seen a doctor. I'm a bit scarred. I also get winded pretty easily, but I attribute that to being a 6' 250# man. Should I run to the nearest ER?
