I'm experiencing some pain and tenderness behind my knee when I try to straighten my leg, along with a tight feeling and a weird tingling in my foot. I just flew for 21 hours to Australia. Should I be concerned about the possibility of having DVT?

Question

I'm really worried about my father-in-law's feet. Last month, he used a scrubber on them, and since then, he's developed these boil-like things on his skin. He's tried some meds, but they haven't worked, and now it's gotten worse. They're now like blisters, and there's some liquid coming out. The doctor said it's the first stage of gangrene. Do you think this can be treated with medication? What should we do next?

Question

I've had swelling in my lower leg near the ankle for about five years now, and I've also noticed some numbness around the last two toes on my left leg. I'm currently taking Losartan H as a maintenance dose. My blood pressure is normal, and I don't have diabetes. Could you help me figure out what's going on and what I should do next?

Question

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with these varicose wounds for the last three months, and they come with crazy itching and burning sensations. The Doppler scan showed mildly dilated long saphenous veins due to an incompetent sapheno-femoral junction and a few incompetent perforators. Luckily, there's no sign of deep venous thrombosis, but still, it sounds serious to me. She's taking medications like OCID DSR, Gabamax Gold, CALDOB, and Ecosprin. I'm just trying to understand how severe this condition is and how long it might take for her to fully recover. Are there any specific precautions or recommendations we should follow to help her heal faster? Would love to hear your thoughts on this.
