[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 48796, member: 84"] As well as what has already been suggested there is a condition called Lymph edema. It's where the lymph nodes in the extremities don't drain properly and can cause the affected extremity to swell. It can be easily treated with medications, but most people never think to have the swelling checked in to. I swear to God I might not be a doctor, but N's b/f's Mom has this in her legs. Poor woman is tiny up top and the lower half of her body is huge! It looks so odd, and you can tell it isn't weight. But we haven't gotten her convinced to see a doctor yet. easy child also thinks that's what her problem is. (hers has progressed over time) It's worth being checked out since the causes can be blood pressure related, heart related, kidney related or lymph related. And heck, it's downright uncomfortable. [img]:frown:[/img] I swell in my hands, ankles, feet, face, but the worst is my belly. Because of the kidney disease it's usually the first indicator I'm retaining water. One day I'll look normal, the next like I'm 8 months pregnant. It's h e ll on the wardrobe. lol I've been swollen for over a week now. [img]:hammer:[/img] [/QUOTE]
