My legs, ankles and feet swell day or night. I don’t drink, smoke or do drugs. Why does this happen?
I have had edema (swelling) in my legs for the last two years. No doctor has been able to specifically determine why. I have been told it is ‘allopathic’. Whether I sit, stand, or lie down, the swelling is always the same or becomes worse. My skin is so tight it is uncomfortable and sometimes painful. I have a prescription diaretic, nova-hydrazine, but do not like taking them.Travelling by plane is now impossible due to the extreme swelling which occurs as a result. Car rides are becoming difficult, too. My feet go numb within minutes. I am otherwise in good health, and exercise every day, walking at a speed of 4 miles per hour for an hour a day on my treadmill. I have excellent heart-lung ratio. I have been tested for diabetes (my dad has it) but it is negative. I am only 41 years old and am worried that this condition will seriously debilitate my life. I do have Sacroilitis due to Ankylosing Spondilitits, but am not sure how this is linked. Any suggestions?
Since Ankylosing Spondylitis is in the family of rheumatic diseases, which include rheumatoid arthritis, I am guessing that part of the swelling may be due to your condition. However, my main concern is how much salt is in your diet. If you have a salt laden diet, then this will greatly effect the amount of swelling you have. I would suggest that you schedule an appointment with your doctor to go over your medicines (some medicines can cause swelling in some people),have a complete physical, and blood work done. Although you don’t like taking the diuretic, I would further recommend that you continue to take it, so that you don’t develop fluid around your heart. I hope you and your Doctor find the answer soon and that your will be comfortable again. Good Luck.
