[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 396828, member: 84"] If they have streaks (red ones) coming from them, I'm thinking these need checked asap, as in right away ER type checked. You had surgery right? Is the incision anywhere near these areas? If it is near the incision it could be blood poisoning......meaning an infection has moved from the incision to your bloodstream which is extremely dangerous. If it's not near the incision........is the area cold or hot to touch? Hot to touch and painful......you could have phlebitis, which still needs checked out and treated right away. Phlebitis is an inflammation of the vein.....and can lead to blood clots. This is one time I wish I could get a good look at your foot. It's the line part of it that makes me want to look at it..........really hard to tell from a description. When it doubt, get checked out........or call the doctor at home. It's what you pay them the big bucks for. Hugs [/QUOTE]
