is causing your Edema. Is it heart trouble, a blockage, an injury, vascular,etc...? If you already know the cause, then go to the specialist in that field for a treatment. Hope you are better soon.

i too would advise to start with your pcp. is it on your leg?
it could mean an infection (like cellulitis). if that's the case you need to get it checked asap as you may need antibx. let us know. do it now at the beginning of the wk. or you could go to one of those free standing clinics if you can't get in. is it red? or does it have streaks of red around it? that would make the situation worse so again, you need to get it checked. of course, i'm a nurse, so tend to think of the worse case scenario.

they might want you to wear compression stockings to help the edema to back off. I like EdemaWear. A lot of pharmacies carry it OTC now.

I agree with Nurse Nancy since I am a nurse also. I also agree with Sally, there can many causes for edema.
