What causes swollen thighs and ankles with large blistets on legs?
Patient: I am being treated by my family physician and have had very swollen thighs and ankles for 2 years. I presently have had two boutes of large blisters on both legs which have been draining a clear fluid. Swabs have been taken which have turned up negative for bacteria. I have had an dopler and arterial scan, seen a heart specialist to no avail. I was put on a course of dyretics which cause my kidneys to fail and spent ten days in hospital to kick start the operation.l At the present time my uric acid and creatine levels appear normal once again but they are following them closely. No one seems to know what the problem is. Do you? signed Barb Doctor: I wish you can take some advice from a physical therapist for your swelling and cardiac endurance training under his or her guidance. it will surely help you avoid diuretics and reduce your swelling as well. kindly meet a vascular surgeon and a dermatologist also. I needed you can take an advice from a diabetologist as well.
