What Causes Sunken Areas On The Feet And Leg With Pain?
Hello, I get these like 2 inch long sunken areas on my feet and sometimes legs. These sunken areas are red and with a stinging pain. I can lie down and elevate my feet and they go away in a couple of minutes. I am being treated for water retention with swelling to my feet and legs.
