Hi everyone, im having bother with my legs constantly just now first i thought it was my veins as they are very noticeable especially behind my knee and very sore, docs said phlebitis got anti-b's but now im having swelling in both legs and feet, today when i took my socks off the mark on my legs from them were terrible and it still there a bit and that was hours ago, i was thinking it might be edema but i dont know much about that, has anyone experienced this, just cant stop worrying about whats going on just now :(

I worked with people who have edema and the ones that I saw had extremely swollen legs and ***TMI alert*** their legs would ooze fluid. I don't know much about the actual condition, but I think you would know if you had it.
