i found this informative and interesting !i dont really think i have high blood pressure...it was 130 over 80 last taken ,but when i was in the hospital they said it was high and sky high when i was really upset ...Hence,my problem was that my legs were very swollen and started gaining fluid a year ago with a lot of weight gain.My legs began a red rash on the inside of my calf on the right one,near a leg injury where i was kicked and had a dent in my leg for years.It was warm to the touch  and very tender.the left red spot was smaller...about 1/5th the size(it was only the size of a cookie..there was no swelling in this leg and it was on the shinbone area.i thought it began because at night my legs lay together at that spot and are painful to lower leg bearing all the weight,as i am a side sleeper.I also thought it was due to shaving without cream and going in hot tub(legs were burning!) and getting infections in the legs.Three doctors thought it was cellulitis and i had two doplars two months apart both negative.i was on 5 different antibiotics and the heat/tenderness and shooting pains stopped but the hardness that formed is still there .my legs feel tight and feel like they shudder when i exhale,sneeze,or cough....like circulation is getting cut off kind of feeling for a split second ..then i try to exhale again and i dont feel it..its with the big exhales,so it happens a few times an hour at least.there are some places in my leg where it is pitted and i can put a dent in with my finger...feels like stretch armstrong doll when you pushed your finger in it dents the spot of your finger...weird too,and .I am so tired of the discomfort and actually the lack of diagnosis.i got my doc to finally say this may be something else and referred me to a vascular surgeon.i am only 42 and this has ruined my spring/summer and i dont want it to continue.i am going out of my mind with the tightness and feeling like my muscless have a grip around my bones...Please give me any advice.908-333-7057 Denise
