    Hi Bev,

    Yes I did for about 6 months. I don't know what stage you are at but I was about 18 months post when that happened. I had a horrible bloat going on all over as well around the same time. It went on its own though.

    Yes, it happens to me occasionally also. I work on my feet 8-12 hours a day, so by end of my shift, my sock line is noticable. I was told by my doctor that it was normal as it would return go away within few hours of relaxing.  

    I did have a physical to make sure there weren't any other issues going on, I'm sure in part due to my age.
