That is some of my problem. I went to a foot doctor. Says I have bad arthritis and bad veins

I agree that you should probably get checked out. I have the same problem but I don't have any kidney issues. My doctor said that the prednisone has me retaining fluids. Ask your doc about compression socks and maybe a prescription for hydrochlorothorazide.
