Swollen foot?

Question

Ok, this is a very odd situation so let me explain:
I am in my late 20's, and my right foot has been slightly swollen for about 8 years now. At first I didn't get it checked out because I was in school and couldn't afford health insurance (don't you love our country's priorities?). Over the last couple of years I have been to several different types of doctors and noone seems to know what is wrong. Here are some of the things I've heard:
My regular dr did blood work and bone scan....nothing.
A podiatrist did an x-ray....nothing.
A vascular surgeon examined it and said it maybe Venus [something] syndrom where the valves in my leg don't let the blood through...but he wasn't sure.
I had my legs scanned by a sonagram technichian and she said there is a thickening of the outer vein in both legs that was maybe caused by a previous blood clot...but wasn't sure. She said I didn't have to worry about blood clots (of course I asked).
I have never had any pain or discolorization. ideas?

no I don't have a diagnosis...the sonogram would have shown Venus syndrom...and even if that was it, he said that there is nothing that could be done about it. And I DID have a follow-up after the sonogram and there is nothing to be done about it.
I was just curious if anyone had a similar problem...I don't expect people on Yahoo Answers to give me a diagnosis.
And no, my leg/foot does not ooze anything.

Answer 1

Because it is one leg only it seems to relate to the energy flow on the affected side. Think of any possible cause of this condition. Check your posture in the mirror--are you favouring one leg? In school this can happen easily when one carries heavy knapsacks on one shoulder. Emotionally the right side of our body relates to the male energy. What issue can you connect with the swelling , what happened in your life around the time the swelling started? There is a reason for everything. It might sound silly but ask your body for a cause and for a remedy before you go to sleep. Expect an answer to come and it will soon. Good luck!
In addition, there a few things you can do to improve blood circulation in your feet;
Please change the type of socks you wear--Pure cotton, or pure wool are best, no elastic and no nylon. Also try to elevate the foot above the heart level several times a day. Make sure you do not cross your feet while sitting or lying in bed. Drink, preferably boiled water at room temperature, often enough to keep your pee colourless and free of smell. Reduce yeast in your diet. Make sure your nostrils are free and allow for an equal air supply--close one nostril and inhale deeply then exhale, in a few times, then out a few times. Repeat with other nostril. try leg stretches at least twice a day. Every bit helps. Expect your body to find a way to correct the condition soon. Good luck!

You have a diagnosis in case you didn't realize it from the vascular surgeon so my question is why isn't he doing something about it or at least monitoring your leg routinely. I would consider seeing another vascular surgeon and be sure to take all your records and test results along so the new doc can see what has already been done and take things from there. According to your post the sonnogram showed a problem but nothing more was ever done about this by your vascular surgeon which is why I feel you need a new doc or second opinion.

Wear help stockings, do not sit down for lengthy intervals, while you sit down use a foot stool. Put your toes up at constant instances throughout the day. Make definite your medical professional is quite simply treating you for all different clinical stipulations. Ask your medical professional if a diuretic remedy could be useful. If you'll, lie along with your toes resting on anything that's bigger than your center,(illustration, mendacity at the residing room ground along with your toes on a chair at the same time looking TV).

Answer 4

I do have a medical condition in my family that we always refered to it as the Weeping leg syndrome due to the extreme swelling of the legs and feet to the point of ozing fluid from our skin. Luckily I don't have it. There doesn't seem to be any pain or discolorization but there is stiffness due to the swelling. Perhaps this is your ailment.

maybe you just have fat feet!!

some women carry a lot of water in their feet. If there is no pain then dont worry about it
