AI overview

Edema is the buildup of fluid in your body's tissues, most often in the legs or arms, which can cause the skin to feel tight, the affected area to feel heavy, and stiffness in nearby joints. It matters because it's a symptom of an underlying condition that needs to be identified and addressed to resolve the swelling.
