Dinah,

My FIL had that same problem a few years back, swelling of the legs, etc. He had the same tests and they had him on meds and special socks, exercises to keep blood flow correct. He couldn't drive long distances. They worried about a clot just like Rigby said. It was ok. But again, he could not sit for long periods. Your doc may have to adjust how he handles his practice, you know not sitting in the same position.

And I understand your worry. But you are sensitive to him and in any case you now know what is going on. Hopefully if he has this condition they have caught it in time that it is manageable as it was for my FIL. He has managed fine for the last 15 years. It might even be more. My FIL is 85 now and that was in his late 60's.

take care and try not to worry.

rsk
