Hi Bigrob. I had the same about 10 years ago. Swollen feet and rock solid calves that really hurt when i walked. It was Christmas day when I decided to actually go to the infirmary and when I got there I was seen straight away. The diagnoses was Septicemia (blood poisoning). The doctor drew a black line around the red swollen part of my leg and gave me antibiotics. He said "go home, lie down with your feet elevated (on cushions) and over the next couple of days just watch that black line. If the red swelling comes over the line, get yourself straight up to the hospital but if it starts to reduce, keep taking the antibiotics until they are finished. I'm glad to say that the antibiotics worked and I haven't had anything like that again since.View attachment 12881
