I m 58 yrs old. Disabled because of bad knees and back. For a couple yrs I ve had liquid gather in pannes area. It would come and go but now it seems to permenant. Hinderance to walking, usually hard, I thought it was an endema situation. Nephrologist suggested possible lymphedma which I already wear compression hose on my lower legs for. I m on dietetics for blood pressure (1/2 100 mg tab of turosemide per day). I am morbidly obese also. Blood pressure usually around 140/85. I d really like to shed this water/ growth... I even have problems rolling over in bed at night because of it.
