Today Dr. Oz is talking about a problem that is plaguing women’s legs all across the country.

Dr Oz: When to See the Doctor for Cankles
Dr Oz says if you have pain and swelling caused by Cankles then it is a reason to be concerned.
Dr. Oz started out by explaining what causes a cankle to help you better understand what is really happening in your body. He says that they are caused by a fluid build-up along with a little bit of fat, which is often genetic, but in some cases there is something more going on that could be cause for concern.
- Pain or swelling could be a sign of a kidney or heart problem.
- Pitting edema, which is when pressure is applied to the skin and an indentation remains after the release of pressure, is another cause for concern.
