He is gonna order ultrasound of both legs, not just the "puffy" one re: edema and redness.
and was telling me that wearing support hose plus a support sleeve for the puffy arm will do wonders.
Can hardly wait.
I stay home 99% of the time, by choice, so don't mind the hose/arm get up.
thank god Medicare covers all this....
