Yes - I am 49 years old, weigh 130 pounds I am a runner and a fitness instructor. I recently took on a full time job where I sit at a desk. I still teach and run 8 hours a week. Recently I am experiencing swelling of the lower legs - knee to ankle and bloating of the abdomen. After I remove my work shoes, I have indentations where the straps have been. My lower legs feel tight like sunburn without the burn. My abdomen and waist is enlarged. I haven t had a period in 6 months. What is going on??
