What Causes Extreme Swelling In The Left Leg Of A Teenager?
Hi my daughter is sixteen and weigh 290-95 lbs last May I noticed her left leg was slightly swollen so i took her to her Dr. she told me it was fluid on the leg to drink a lot of water for a week and return to her it stayed the same. I switched to a pediatrician which sent us to a vascular specialist he did several test but nonthing showed in her test he said her vein in her pelvic area was closing so he wanted to go in anyway to see and he put stints in the left and right pelvic area. . he diagnosed her with May Thurner Syndrome which to me doesnt go with the symptons she has. Her leg has swollen three times the size then he tell me there is nothing else he can do. I know something is wrong but I dont know where to start

since it has effected one leg so it can be vascular having improper vinous return. check for thrombophlebitis or vericosevein. can use crape bandage and raise the lg with pillow at bed time.
