Interesting: I got as far as typing in "chronic", and "chronic venous insufficiency"

popped up. Apparently, MANY people are looking!

The orange thing is at Stage 3 of 6 at least, since one has to be at least at Stage 3 before it is actually labelled CVI (per Cleveland Clinic website).

there is much, much more they are not admitting.

Any medical folk on DU? What other conditions have these symptoms?

I sincerely hope that the American news media and the American people don't ever get into the habit of believing anything the Trump administration voluntarily tells us.

To say it's the mildest of any malady with swollen ankles. I also think the handshaking causing hand bruising is complete BS.

I would be willing to bet that we were not given the actual diagnosis.

It would sure be a shame if they had to amputate.

That's what many Medicaid recipients will be facing after you cut them off!

I hope it spreads!

Eat MORE salt!

Say no more.

Other than . . . the effort to play this down in public shows this is serious.

Official line: 'Trump will live to be 200!'

Reality: He is hanging in there.

Keep watching to see if his public appearances, TV appearances, travel etc will decrease.

...staying home in that idiot's brain, eating up residual dopamine from his heroin addiction, and not traveling to the wasteland inside the orange dementia victim in the White House. There may not be much left in RFK's brain, but if you're a brain worm, you have to compare insufficient food supplies with no food supplies.

IF this is actually the trouble... he's has has ankle swelling since at least 2018. I noticed it then.

The hand bruising could mean advanced ... Regardless, the most vain person on earth allowing any info release is a set up of some sort. All we can do is speculate and hate on the circus.
