Edema is usually the problem. In fact the way doctors determine whether you have edema in your legs is to press on the leg and release. If the depression remains for a little while it is due to fluids being displaced in that area and the person has edema.

Too much sodium in diet will cause edema. Some medications will cause edema. Imbalance of hormones can cause edema.

Best to see a doctor who is interested in finding out what the problem is.

Having said that, remember, normal people will have some depression after sitting on their leg, but, it will not be very much and will fill back in immediately.

I am not sure what the point is to your posts? Are you selling something? Most boards do not take kindly for this think of advertising. I know I don't on my boards. I am also not sure how many have received pm's from nicole? I have now received two pm's where she has wrote the same thing twice????? I am not a diabetic but have spine problems and nicole sends me the same information as she is posting here??? What gives???


I also would like to tell nicole that the members here do not take "drugs" they take medication. You have made it sound as though these people are addicts which they are not!!!! Kindly use the word medication when posting.


Imshirl :(

btw....


This is the pm she has sent me twice now.


Hi

i would like to introduce myself, nicole henson, I am working with of world of ayurveda, an arm of bacfo research labs. We are based in the heart of the silicon valley in the san francisco bay area, our breeding ground for scientific research, innovation & intelligence; a place where ‘science, technology and nature converge.’ we hope you will find our company inspiring, our products effective and our employees knowledgeable. As we share our gush of pure energy; we seek complete enthusiasm and excitement at mutually working with you, all the renowned physicians in north america, the yoga community, press, media, medical journalists, universities, government organizations, medical institutions and every single corporation (profit and not-for-profit) that exists on the face of this planet, to awaken this 5000-year-old dormant ayurvedic volcano; for the benefit of humanity and mankind. Medicine is a basic necessity to relieve the pain of the poor and the rich.

Ayurveda is not only a passion for all our employees; our scientists have dedicated their entire lives in the research and development at providing a chemical-free all-natural solution to some of the world's most common ailments i.E. Arthritis, diabetes, cholesterol, allergies, acidity, etc. Ayurveda is the great grandfather and the oldest completely documented medical systems in the world. Lack of funding and research had made this system dormant. However, the time has now come to trigger an avalanche and awaken this ancient medical system called ayurveda, the science of life.

I suggest you google 'ayurveda'

thanks,

-nicole
