what exactly is dimpling??

maybe i don't have the term correct, but its what you're supposed to look for hen you start to swell- if there is no dimpling than its normal swelling, but if there is it's cause for concern??

Just wondering if I have it or not.

Basically if you push down on the swollen area and it stays a bit depressed, then you're dimpling (this was what was explained to me). If it pops back up and the color returns quickly, you're sweet.

Kinda like how you poke a fish in the market to see if it's fresh

What if the only part swelling is your toes, and they look like piggy little Vienna sausages but they're still too little to really get a good "poke" at?
