@drdavidabbasi: Homeless individuals often develop severe leg swelling (edema and lymphedema) from chronic venous stasis. Sitting or sleeping with legs down for long periods, limited mobility, high-salt diets, and untreated conditions like heart or kidney disease all cause fluid to build up in the legs. I see legs like this regularly in clinical practice. What doesn’t get talked about enough is the serious medical conditions people experiencing homelessness live with every day — not just the homelessness itself. Medicine is about understanding the why, not judging the who. ✅Follow @drdavidabbasi for More Daily Medical Content & Health Tips! 🌴😷Schedule a consultation to see Dr. Abbasi as a patient in Delray Beach!
