408795 tn?1324935675 I've been having major problems with swollen ankles over and over. I am on a salt free diet and I eat as healthy as I possibly can. Does anyone else have the symptom of swelling and what do you do about it? My concern is that the area that swells is getting larger. One day last week my legs were swollen all the way up to my knees.
Avatar f tn Last two days my ankles have swollen to twice thier size at work besides drinking lots of water through out the day and resting when I get home. What else should I do? Im 25 weeks, and sit in an office for work.
Avatar n tn THERE IS NO WAY TO DIAGNOSE YOU WITHOUT AN EXAMINATION BY A DOCTOR. What do you mean by a lump? Do you mean swollen ankles? When you press there with your finger does it leave an indention there? This could be many things from water imbalance, heart problems causing edema, diabetes causing burning in feet, neurological, bone injury. It is impossible to know without testing and examination by a doctor. ONLY A DOCTOR CAN DIAGNOSE YOU.
Avatar n tn Flycaster has given you some great guidelines. I don't have heart "disease" but I do have arrhythmias. Oh well. I think the average person will have some swelling of their feet and ankles if they've been up and around all day. Surely you've heard people talk about their shoes feel tight because their feet are swollen by the end of the day. And our hands may puff up a bit too on a hot day. Very normal.
Avatar f tn Anyway, very swollen ankles are NOT good. Also you unsteadiness should not be taken too lightly. Call your doctor asap.
Avatar n tn There is a distinction between pitted and non-pitting edema (fluid leaks into tissues. Pitted edema is caused by either systemic diseases, that is, diseases that affect the various organ systems of the body, or by local conditions involving just the affected extremities. The most common systemic disorder is associated with edema involve the heart, liver, and kidneys. In these diseases, edema occurs primarily because of the body's retention of too much salt (sodium chloride).
Avatar m tn Should we be concerned about my 68 year old spouse's swollen ankles in the p.m.?
Avatar f tn How can I get my feet and ankles to go down.? They are swollen day and night and my feet are also swollen underneath.
Avatar f tn How do you deal with edema? I have swollen ankles that won't respond to anything. Even Lasix prescription is not helping. Compression socks and elevating legs help only minimally. Any tips or suggestions? What's worked best for you? Please help!
667923 tn?1421462724 I have been having trouble with my medications and I don't know if I have heart probs or if it's my medicine. I am so concerned that my ankles are staying swollen a lot. I don't know what to do because I don't have much of a doc here in this small town and i don't want to die. It would be very beneficial for a lot of people that are having swollen ankles and other body parts and maybe could save lives.
4856858 tn?1365378777 i also had/have edema in feet ankles, and lower legs. she had me do toe, foot, and ankle exercises to move the edema along. edema is a passive disorder that requires muscle contraction to circulate the trapped lymph. the swelling is tx related, because it limits your mobility. walk and exercise.
Avatar f tn Like fret points out there are other reasons for swollen ankles but having HCV and swollen ankles would bring much concern to me. I have personally only met 2 people in my life with swollen ankles and both had cirrhosis. Of course later on they developed ascites but this was the first sign. I think if you can get him to see a hepatologist then your hubby with get the hard core facts and WAKE him up. Hepatitis C has a strange way of sneaking up on you and sometimes it is to late to treat.
Avatar f tn Glad you brought this up. I have had edema in my legs since about a year before my other symptoms started.
Avatar m tn Hello, Swelling (a.k.a. edema) is caused by a buildup of fluids. When this happens in the legs, ankles, and/or feet, it's called peripheral edema. As it has occurred suddenly after lawn mowing in your case, it can be due to some insect sting or bite. Are you overweight? Are you allergic to grass or hay? In these cases also there can be peripheral edema. Did you injure your leg or feet recently? It can be due to infection. But is is usually associated with fever and pain.
Avatar n tn I am at work at the moment and all of a sudden my foot started stinging. After about 30 seconds the stinging was quite dull but i looked down at my foot and it was huge!!! i elevated it but it just got bigger. I'm on 50mg Imuran and 25mg Prednisolone daily. Wondering if either of these could be contributing but swollen feet and lower legs is supposed to be a rare side effect of Imuran but I've had swollen feet and legs since I started taking it...
Avatar f tn thought I should give a little more info. Both of my ankles & feet are swollen and I'm having lower back pain. I'm also extreamly over weight. I'm 5'8 and probably weight 270 lbs. Thank you for your insight into my problem. I have had really bad experiences with Drs. so I'm not looking forward to going and getting the run around.
652671 tn?1353712165 I started a new job on monday, and it requires me to stand for most of my day. My ankles and lower legs are so swollen it's scary looking. I have NEVER seen any part of my body swell like that ever. It looks like I have grapefruits planted on top of my feet, or like my legs are pouring out of my shoes. My hands or face isn't swollen at all. It's so painful. I was wondering if anyone else had severe swelling and still had to work, and what you did to relieve a little of it.
Avatar n tn I have swollen ankles and feet(last 3 days), puffiness in my face in AM, swollen glands and sore neck(1 week)
