Cankles ++ Experience ?

Orca11

Anyone have experiences with sudden but everlasting cankles and such? Basically I have been fine, then about a week ago I noticed that my socks were leaving permanent dents in my legs and that I couldn't see my ankle bone any more, my foot and toes are swollen, as is my whole calf on both legs.

I have my next appt on friday, but just spoke with my dad who knows a fair amount about these things and he suggested that its that baby is sitting on the return arteries for blood flow to the heart from lower body, and its not good that it stays all day and all night.

He suggested I go find some of those support pantyhose and wear them through the day to support better blood flow. Any other suggestions, or similar experiences so I can improve this or know more before I see the OB in a few days?
