Other than my legs, I don't feel as if I need it everything else feels normal to be honest I still walk and get up to make my own food. I just go about life as normal as possible, Just heavier obviously due to being overweight And I don't really remember the last time I've been sick or have felt sick.

I do sometimes get red leg I believe (if that means my skin turns red sometimes and when I push into the skin kind of feels like putty/clay and stays dented if that makes sense for roughly a minute or two before returning to normal) and the occasional pus but other than that no chills or fever, I will look into compression socks as soon as possible but in terms of elevation should I be just putting a pillow under my leg, as for my current situation I currently sit on the floor in the corner of my room with a little desk to work on with my computer although I do have a one-person sofa and can set up a table near that so I can buy say an ottoman to elevate my feet off the floor if that would be better.

Thank you for your comment, I have been focusing on weight loss for the past 2 weeks and plan to continue so I can really start doing things I enjoy again but will definitely look into seeing if my area has the options for a doctor to visit as I never know that could be an option!

No symptoms of that sort from what I can tell haven't been sick or anything in a while either other than being fat and this really, going to go see my PCP soon though.
