I would recommend seeking emergent care especially if you are having shortness of breath. Definitely sounds like something vascular.
Secondly, get rid of that incompetent physician.
You have to be seen by a vascular doctor and have a Doppler performed NOW
until you see the doctor when in bed keep your legs up on a few pillows and don't sit around to much
Thank you for your advice. I will take your advice even though I absolutely hate going to my doctor. He is an idiot and I need to find a new one. Would it be appropriate just to go to the ER. I was having shortness of breath yesterday. I have stayed off my feet and my legs and thighs have gone down some but my ankles/skin huts like a bruise. I am 5'7" and my normal weight is about 120. I bet I weigh 135 as I cannot get into some of my clothes. It is not from eating because I cannot seem to eat my stomach hurts and feel hard and full. Again thank you for your response.
"Drink more water?" You need to be SEEN by a physician to rule out WHY you have this swelling; this is NOT a good thing at all. There is NO over the counter pill to take for this. Repeat: you need to be seen by a physician asap!!!! Sounds like something vascular is going on.
If it gets worst, I would recommend seeking emergent care.
