I have several issues going on with my legs. Yes I tilt back and I prop my feet up on a wedge in bed.
I typically spend 14 hours a day in bed and now I think that it caused more harm than good. The great Saphenous vein in left leg has about a golf ball size bulge just below my knee. I’m not sure what the doctor’s solution is going to be so I was curious if anyone has had vein removal, laser, or radiofrequency treatment.

Our bodies don't do that, so fluid pools in our feet. My feet are always swollen to some degree. Compression stockings are a must. When I was in rehab, they would wrap my legs with ace bandages, but that is a pain. Do the legs of your chair elevate? Keeping your legs elevated might help a little. Truthfully, the best thing to do is to tilt back often to let the blood pooling in your feet travel back towards your heart. If you could tilt back with your feet elevated, it would really be helpful.
