What Causes Darker And Harder Right Foot?

I have been having really bad edema in my feet and ankles. I went to the er and was prescribed water pills and the Dr also saw that I have a uti infection. I am only 28 years old, very healthy and never have any health issues in life. My ankles did go down but I have bruising in legs that have been there for months.my right ankle is worse than my left. Now since there almost back to normal my right foot is considerably darker then my other foot and its hard. I m getting nervous because unfortunately no Dr can tell me what s wrong besides I may have heart issues and need to see a cardiologist asap. Help

hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of you.

as you been having skin discoloration of the feet I feel it should be related to vascular insufficiency. Also many a times due to kidney issues the water retention occurs and the skin discoloration happens.

In my clinical practice I have only seen skin discoloration and swelling in patients with Cardiac issues, kidney issues, diabetes and some unknown factors.

We try to examine first and go by the natural instinct and in many of the unknown cases it has worked well. We feel it is a metabolism issue and needs a booster for the same.

We plan and program our workout session in a fashion where the we workout behind reducing the swellin by exercises and improving the cardio endurance along with improved metabolism. We get good results in the swelling reduction. For the discoloration of the skin we usually plan the whirlpool therapy and expose the skin area to the sunlight so a natural healing and skin color changes. we almost found cent percent results.
