Thanks for the advice. What are some of the other things that cause swelling of the legs and feet?

Default Hi Linmarie,

heart problems can cause swollen legs or feet and also high blood pressure. Retaining water from kidney and heart problems can.

I don't have the swollen legs but like Jeannie said, my right leg from my knee down is bigger then my left. I noticed it quite awhile back when I turned around to look at my back in the mirror.

As far as socks. I wear them in the winter months and no matter what size I get by the time I take them off at night they have sunk into my legs and left their marks.

Docdogg, welcome to the forum and thanks for that info on the socks.

Ada

Confused Swelling never seems to go away!

I have RSD in my legs and the swelling is just amazing, actually that is what led me to this site yesterday! I have had swelling so bad that it looks like I have small patches of little blood spots under my skin. I hurt terribly and the saga continues. I get tired of complaining as I am sure so do others get tired of hearing me. To make matters worse I had my left knee replaced at a very young age (34) because of severe damage to the knee itself and I cannot bend the knee hardly at all because of the swelling, so the knee joint never gained the mobitlity it could of had after the new one was placed because of the RSD. SOOOOO I have a Fat Swelled leg that is almost non-functional and seems to keep getting worse. I believe my skin could and surely will split soon at the rate it is going. I am at a loss for what to do next? I have tried just about everything everyone has ever suggested but I am willing to keep trying if anyone else can help .
