I'd wager good money this is largely a result of me being laid up and not particularly active in a month and a half. At any rate, I bought some compression socks to try and jump start some circulation down there. Here's hoping it works. I'd hate to have to go to the doc for some water pills.
Well, I can safely say the compression socks were a failure. They started seriously hurting after a couple hours wearing them and while I don't think it actually made it any worse, my legs certainly look worse!

Definitely want to visit the doctor at this point, but the question is today at urgent care or tomorrow with my PCP. Something needs to happen. It's just a question of what.
