I have the same problem, I've been vac for Hep A and B, it's not that. I've also been tested for Hep C rescently. I will tell you this... The only time I seem to obtain relief is when I see my acupuncturist. He knows exactly where to place the NEEDELS that make the swelling disappear. It's in no way permanent. But it works. It doesn't explain why or what causes it. But it works! I hope this helps some of you.
I have the exact same problem, I have seen the doctors a repeated amount of times, yet agin no result, blood tests and ultra sounds also!! its horrible, if anyone knows any remedies HEELLPP!! thank you

I have the same exact problem and I have absolutely NOO idea what it is either. The doctors can't figure it out either. I was fine until 3 years ago when I had my daughter. I have extremely high blood pressure & was diagnosed with pre-clampsia. I was put in the hospital at 5 1/2mts. After a few weeks, my left foot started swelling real bad. All the doctors and nurses told me that it was just the pregnancy and should go away after I had the baby. Well, I had her at 7 1/2 mts and she is 3yrs now and it is still there. I can't wear any regular shoes now, just tennis shoes. If anyone out there has any idea what this might be, please let me know.
Sincerely
I had hcv for four months in 1966-67, I was hospitalized, had 2 liver biopsies, confirming hep and all those trimmings! I was treated with nothing but bed rest and lots of liquids, juice, water, etc.. I have never been with a lot of energy since! I have been for sometime! Having spleen swelling, leg swelling, stomach swelling! Joint and muscle roving pains! I am not sure if it is related to hepatitis!
I think you need to see a Heptologist. An ultrasound is not enough information, it can tell you if you have a mass or a tumor but the gold srandard to access liver damage is a biopsy. Having an ultrasound that comes out good doesn't tell you much, you need to look deeper. Have you had a hepatic blood panel done? I think you should have one, it is a simple blood test. Did they find fatty liver on the ultrasound? You need to figure out why this happens, do you have other symptoms? Have you been checked for viral hepatitis b and c? I'd be sure and rule that out. I would avoid all alcohol until you get to the borrom of this.
