Question: I do not know what else to do. The swelling and fluid retention in my legs have gotten progressively worse. I do not feel doctors are taking it seriously. This has been going on since XXXXXXX and progressively worse to the point where I have it all day in both legs...the entire leg. Right now my hamstrings feel very swollen. Sometimes my skin feels numb which it does right now as well. It is like a burning sensation and at times like cold water is being dumped on my legs and pelvic region. The swelling is exacerbated or gets worse during exercise to the point I cannot even feel my muscles. My feet get atypically cold as well. I do not know what else to do. My echo, EKG, ABI, and leg ultrasound come back normal. All labs and urine specimen are normal. I have pitting edema that has been diagnosed as well. Nothing relieves it....I have tried elevation, compression stockings...diet...I continue to gain weight despite diet and exercise (the Wahl's protocol to be exact), lifting weights and cardio. Doctors have no idea. I have a Moritz 1 Second degree heart block that I have had since my early twenties or that is when it was diagnosed. I am up to my wit's end. I am so distressed about this. My legs feel heavy a lot of the time as well.

An update: I took the advice of a doctor here and got an MRI with contrast and it all came back normal.

They are now grasping at straws regarding what to do so they are telling me to get off birth control. I feel better on BC and have tried getting off it twice per doctor order and both times I felt crappy and I gained weight quickly.

I am SO distressed and do not know what to do.
Oh and forgot to mention sometimes I have this aching pain in inner thigh. Sometimes my buttocks falls asleep for no reason.

All the tests you mentioned I have already gotten and come back normal.
Also sensitivity to cold at the moment I think I forgot to mention.
