You have pitting edema and you need to go to the doctor for a complete checkup. For some reason you're retaining fluid and it's not just a little like is normal for women.
Go to the doctor, sis. It may just be too much sodium in your diet, but if it's a new onset, over the past few months as you say, you really need to check it out.
Now I'm gonna be all worried till you do, so call and get a checkup. When was your last full physical, anyway?
Ruh Roh! Now you've done it Hair.
(but I agree with 2J)
So maybe I'm not fat at all, I'm just full of water.
I'm concerned to, have been for some time. Trouble is, it's not that simple for me to just go to the doctor right now, we've reduced our insurance to a high deductible plan because ecurbh's been cut back and we lost benefits.
It'd be a cash out of pocket to just go.... cash we really don't have. I'm reading a fairly lengthy description of it though.
