What you are experiencing is a symptom of something I reckon, at the very least if there's no serious problem you should at least be advised how to reduce that swelling and possibly be prescribed diuretics to help.

I will ring next week for a telephone appointment - at least.

Re: Is feeling cold - old age related?
I feel the cold more than I used to. Things like getting out of the shower when I'm all wet is something I don't look forward to. Torso seems to feel the cold but legs never! Maybe because I always used to wear shorts at work or when I was tramping in the ranges or deer hunting. Even now, in the middle of winter I'm quite happy in shorts but have wear scarf and several layers on top end.

People keep saying "go and see your doctor", in response to your medical discussions.
Living here, in Berkshire, I'm more likely to be able to have lunch with the Queen rather than get in to see a Doctor.
The local surgery is now mostly a Vaccine Centre, plus you have to make sure to charge your phone batteries before you join the telephone queue!

We are very lucky in this town - I think in this area, as to doctors. Covid, of course, has thrown everything out of kilter but I for one could never complain. Our area health authority seems to be on its toes.
My doc' yesterday rang me in mistake for someone else with exactly the same name.

I've noticed in cold wet weather, old injuries play up, currently my ankles. It's quite normal for me, but has got worse as I've got older.
Hope you get checked up if it's a concern.

Re: Is feeling cold - old age related?
Old bod 20.5 is nothing .21 is the minimum I can put up with and that’s with a jumper on .
I stoked up the wood burner yesterday and today we have the heating on set to 21 degrees .
I have always felt the cold and give me warmth and plenty of it !
and ordered a poncho from Amazon.
