Kelly,   OMG!!  I have been dealing with chronic edema for almost a year now.  I always had low blood pressure, now it's high and I have to take meds for it.  All because one day I woke up from lower extremity pain and my legs were huge!  There are times when the swelling gets so bad my skin cracks open too.  They've put me on 80mg of Lasix daily...sometimes the swelling goes down, other times not.  But they have no clue why.  I've gained 30 lbs. since all the swelling started too...and I swear it's all in my legs.  But also noticed, my tummy area is bloated more too.  I never had a stomach even after 30+ surgeries...now I do...again, all within the past 9-12 months.  I'll be very interested in what your docs say.  Mine are stumped. Keep in touch.   Jeanne Surdo
