I have a lump on left calf or maybe just above ankle on left side of left leg been there a few yrs but recently developed severe swelling on right foot and ankle, gradually moving up leg. Then the same on right leg now. My legs look like a snake moving along! My knees have swelled and my hands and wrists now. I have put on a stone in weight over last month. I have a lot of joint pain, numbness and tingling along with loss of feeling mainly in my hands with the nerve disturbence. I was told i may have damage to the cerubellam but not confirmed. I was a heavy drinker for about ten yrs. Im 47 female and im havin reg periods now, altho only for last yr as i av polycystic ovaries, no kids, reg now but severe pms and continual hot flushes! I feel like death, totally fatigued nausious, in pain and sweating like a pregnant pig in labour! Please help me my doc just says its my age!!!!
