Severe Edema in both legs/feet EVERYDAY of my life, please help!
Posted , 3 users are following.
I don't know what to do. Just one day it developed and I have to deal with it everyday.. My legs look like elephant legs. I am not overweight, I have no heart condition, I don't eat salt, I sleep with my legs elevated, I exercise, but it is so painful. I don't know what to do. I am 27 years old and female. I just want to be normal but this has been going on for more than 2 years. I do wear compression stockings all day long too. I just need help.

I haven't ever been to one of those, but I will try that. I do wear stockings everyday except for when I go to sleep. I then keep them elevated all night and usually in the morning they are better, but still very swollen. Then it just gets worse from there. Is there anything else the clinic does for you besides the massages?

Choochamo- same with me!! Although I'm 45, everything else the same, which lead me to google it. This has been nonstop since January. I have 50 pairs of shoes I can no longer even fit my toe in. It's very depressing. I have been back and forth with the same doctor. I just saw him AGAIN last week because I gained 11 lbs in one week! All fluid. I have googled it over and over! I had ultrasound on my legs for blood clot- negative. Two rounds of blood work done- perfect. Last weeks blood work did come up that my liver was slightly elevated! Went for a catscan liver was fine. They did fine unexpected spot on my lung ( scary as hell) and just repeat next year he says! I'm so frustrated because at times it is painful, it gets very tight. I know exactly how you feel. I'm going to follow this maybe I to can get some ideas!
