Legs swelling in heat



Recommended Posts

I just started noticing this yesterday. My bra is feeling tight too. Today I had my dd take a pic of me and I noticed how full my ankles are of Fluid. I don't know of this is from the heat or what, but he last two days have been pretty hot compared to the weather we had been having and I've been sweatin a lot more. My pee is concentrated too, dispite the fact that I've drank more fluids today than any other day as a sleever, as of yet.

I'm also on blood thinners for 3 clots in my intestines, but I've never encountered this in the 6 weeks I've been on them. Course it hasn't been this hot either. Last time I saw the cardiologist he asked me if I had any swelling and I hadn't at that time, but now I'm alarmed an wondering if I should be.

Anyone else experience this!

I see that Amy! I have no idea.. But you should definitely call in the morning. It's in the 90s this week here and I'm not having swelling...

If you have a history of blood clots and you have swelling in your legs you need to contact your dr ASAP. This could mean you have a blockage due to clotting in the lower extremities. OR.. It could be nothing other then the heat.. But your dr needs to be contacted

I would definitely mention it to your doctor. It might be nothing but if you have a history of clots I think it's worth getting checked out.

Do you have pain in your calf? Is it warm to the touch? Those ( plus swelling, redness, etc) are all signs of a blood clot in your leg and should be evaluated by a health care professional. Better safe than sorry.

Very cute picture by the way =)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
