[QUOTE="Annb, post: 2406064, member: 25851"] My legs have been swelling for years but notice was only taken of it when I developed cellulitis and then a red, hot, swollen area on one shin. GP said it was varicose eczema and that it wouldn't improve. That's when compression hosiery was prescribed. Not much improvement but then, last year, it developed on the second leg. I asked about it, but the GP only looked at images online and prescribed zeroderm rather than the diprobase I have used for years. The result was that both legs became redder, sore and blistered, which they still are. I am waiting for the new prescription for compression hose to see what effect they have. Recent compression has only caused the swelling to move higher up my legs and cut off the circulation. [/QUOTE]
