Legs swelling can mean several things. This is one of those things that most likely is a peri issue, but better to visit the doc to be sure. I feel swollen on and off, most notably in the legs, but also all over.
I have had a thorough check up (ha! believe me I've seen several docs in past year! I feel like hypochondriac at times!) and this particular issue for me is weight gain and at times, temporary water retention.
Best to check it out first to be sure.

I suppose if I wasn't going through all this myself, I wouldn't understand. I have girlfriends that simply woke up one day, no more periods and that was that for them. Happy that they missed all this, but sad because at times I feel like a nut. Thank heavens for this site!

I visitied my GP and he just said it's edema, put my feet up and move around more and it will go away, if not you need support stockings!! I went home and by morning, the water swelling had gone.
Two days later I had a period - which I have not had for 6 weeks. I am going to assume this is hormone related water retention even though my GP dismissed it - seems a bit of a coincidence to me. I hope it isn't long term and I hope you get some relief
