Brief Answer:
Likely due to hormonal changes
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
I understand your concern.
Please upload a picture of the edematous legs and also your results so that I get a better idea of the magnitude of the problem. This may be related to the hormonal changes that occur in you in connection with your menstrual cycles. Till we are able to nail your problem , restrict salt and fluids as these tend to make the edema more.
As for the symptoms of blurred , double vision , numbness and difficulty in urinating it would be better to see a Neurologist and exclude Multiple sclerosis.
Take care
