Looks like i have lymphodoema in my left leg. Had symptoms for years (I'm only 35 now!!) - pain, swelling etc. Been fobbed off by 4 different doctors about it being water retention etc. My feet and lower legs have always swollen up in summer but my left one has been permanently swollen and painful since i was 13 weeks pg with DS (who is now 14 months)
I feel awful moaning as i know others have much worse problems but it's truly making me miserable. It's painful constantly, i can't wear any remotely nice shoes (even Evans widest fit hurt for 'night out' shoes) i dread the summer coming as i know it'll get worse and i've recently been put on bp meds which are making it worse!
I need to lose weight - which I'm working on - but is there anything else anyone could recommend whilst i wait for my lymphodoema clinic appointment??
