How Can Swelling On The Legs Be Treated?
I am on thyroxine, have a lot of swelling (fluid???) on both my legs, worse on the left and this is constant no matter what I do or don t do. My whole body feels bloated all the time. I feel there is something wrong but am not getting any information from doctors other than you need to lose weight which I am trying constant to do. I walk 15 minutes to work every morning. I am 49 and I know there is something wrong
