Suggest Treatment For Swollen Calves, Ankles And Feet

Posted on Mon, 27 Apr 2015

Question: How long do basic symptomatic questions typically take to be answered? Can you possibly look at my "profile question/health scenario" and let me know if the ER wouldn't be a bad idea to get this matter checked out- simply because I have NEVER experienced it before at all, whether it be during menstrual cycle or average days... Hopefully, you can help me in a more timely fashion then whom is currently working on the case/question now...THANK YOU!! There is also a photo I attached to show just HOW swollen the calves, ankles, and feet are.... Also, a very small temp of 99.9, if that makes a difference.

Brief Answer:
You need to visit ER/physician

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX

Thanks for asking to healthcaremagic.

I have gone through your previous query and the uploaded pictures.

You seem to have developed lower limb edema..I don't think its related to your menstrual cycle as pain and severity would be less.

I would advise you to consult a nearby physician/ER as soon as possible to rule out other potential causes like cardiac insufficiency,impending renal failure etc.

Underactive thyroid state might also be a possibility..

Further queries can be dealt after.

Take care
