Taut, she probably means there is fluid underneath causing the tightness of the skin.

Hi Doctor C!
Maybe if she put her feet/legs up on something when she is sitting down, wouldn't that help with all the fluid in her legs?
Maybe she could also put some pillows under her legs when she is lying down, to help the fluid come away from her legs and up to be peed out...
What do you think of these ideas, Doc.?

Hi doc my feet just got itchy and when I woke up in the morning it was a little swollen and the itchiness was on top of my feet and at the bottom and also my toes and there's red spots from all the scatching iv been doing really uncomfortable just need some advice

Can redness in the calves, edema, and any irritation such as wearing boots without high socks resulting in rubbing causing bumps and oozing in the redness area be as simple as the reaction from smoking heroin and fentanyl, resulting in sitting in the same place for extended periods, weight gain? I think the redness behind the calf and edema can be linked directly to the smoking heroin and sitting prolonged hours in the same spot. At least to one or the other or both?

Maybe “toes tied” means, webbed? I’ve seen it where the 2nd, 3rd and sometimes 4th toes are webbed in appearance.
