Misdiagnosis of congestive heart failure, kidney failure,
blood clot. Several
blood and urine tests reveal no cause (CBC, HepC,
complete thyroid panel,
glucose, hormone, etc.). EKGS, xrays, ultrasound, CT scan reveal nothing. My left leg measures between 7 and 8 inches enlarged, right is between 5 and 6 inches, and an overall weight gain of about 20 pounds in the legs. Although it varies in size and shape, the swelling does not go away. It is not water retention.
