Hello
As you mentioned that you are taking many medicines and having ARTHRITIS and also taking medicine for this .
You didn't mention the name of drug .
As you mention that your kidney and heart and thyroid are normal .
In spite of this you are getting swelling all over body .
May be due to .
1 In your case ( medicines ) may be steroid as this drug causes accumulation of fluid in body so consult your physician and stop steroid ( if taking ).
2 Chronic renal failure may be the next reason , so get in blood for serum creatinene and urea . Also get in urine for protein examination.
3 Congestive heart failure may be the next reason in such type of cases. So consult one more physician and get his opinion as this type of swelling ( general anasarca ) is a cause of concern.
