Hello,

As what I understand is you are supporting from oedema of the leg and hands along with pain.

As you mentioned that the water oozes out of the skin pore I feel this may be called as an generalized edema. Usually, this doesn't occur until there is fluid retention by the body.

You need to get two things Physically checked by the physician - oedema, is it chronic or acute, of it pitting on non-pitting?

I would like to ask you, are you having any signs of high blood pressure or Diabetes or kidneys? what is your creatinine levels?

If either of one has an error than oedema can be expected. Please get it Physically checked so we can take the right decision.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
