Pitting on legs and ankles

My wife, 65 years, is experiencing swelling of legs and ankles. On pressing with fingers, it makes pits in the flesh which take long to recoil to normal shape. She also passes scanty urine.

Please advise remedy.

Thanks

The symptoms are too short to prescribe a correct medicine. Describe his thirst condition, postural releif, any fever. keep the leg little elevated while sleeping and head down I mean without pillow.

Dear Dr Tahira,

Thanks for your response.

She is not diabetic.

Not much thirsty but feels dryness in the system, can only drink slightly sweetened water.

There is no significent difference on movement.

Lately she feels her digestion is sluggish, bowel movement slow.

Angry and weepy.

Feels like streching legs, alternatively keeps these folded while lying on her side.

Feels slight heat in urethra. Either not passing urine at all for quite sometme and on other times passing small quantity frequently.

Dear Dr Tahira,

What is RFT? Is it the test for Rheumatoid factor?

No,this is Renal Function Test.I think her problem is linked with renal insufficiency which is effecting heart as well.

1. Sugar Fasting - 94 mg
2. Urea - 32 mg
