Kelly,
OMG!! I have been dealing with chronic edema for almost a year now. I
always had low blood pressure, now it's high and I have to take meds for
it. All because one day I woke up from lower extremity pain and my legs
were huge! There are times when the swelling gets so bad my skin cracks
open too. They've put me on 80mg of Lasix daily...sometimes the swelling
goes down, other times not. But they have no clue why. I've gained 30 lbs.
since all the swelling started too...and I swear it's all in my legs. But
also noticed, my tummy area is bloated more too. I never had a stomach even
after 30+ surgeries...now I do...again, all within the past 9-12 months.
I'll be very interested in what your docs say. Mine are stumped.
Keep in touch.
