What Causes Severe Pain And Edema In Abdomen, Feet And Legs?

I have been experiencing edema in my abdomen, legs and feet for 3 weeks. I have had everything checked and my doctor still does not know the cause. I am morbidly obese, hypetensive, have DDD of my lumbar with chronic pain. I had a tatoo put on my lower leg 7 days ago. It hurt a lot (this is my 6th tatoo). The area is red, peeling, and scabbing and the pain is the same as when he gave it to me. A constant stinging 7 unless it is touched and then its a 9. Is the pain because of the edema? I take Lisinopril 10 mg 1 day, Furosemide 20 mg 1 tab 2 daily, Cymbalta 60 mg 1 day

Hi,Welcome to healhcaremagic. After going through your query I concluded that you are having heart disease or kidney problems.So you need to do your heart and kidney function tests to know the cause. You are advised to get serum creatinine,blood urea and echocardiogram done.Due to edema pain in tattoo area has probably increased. You can take analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief.Vitamin B and C can be taken to help in recovery.Hope you have found something helpful.If you have any additional questions and follow up queries then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.Wishing you a good health. Take care.
