Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have fluid build up in legs/feet . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like strain on the Intercostal Muscles , gallstones , costochondritis , pancreatitis , acid reflux and ulcers or inflammatory bowel disorder . I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor ma order ultrasound , stool test , endoscopy and take history along with physical examination . Doctor may prescribe omeprazole , ornidazole , laxative or muscle relaxant . Doctor may also refer you to chest specialist for chest infection . For now apply warm compresses on pain site , eat light and non spicy also take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
