swelled thighs and legs

Hello doctors,

I would appreciate your help once again. Currently, something in my body is not working properly and is leading to the deformity of my thighs and legs. They are very bloated. My thighs looks like they are at least 5 pounds over weight each. That means that at least 10 pounds of my body weight is attributed to my thighs alone. I'm a very petite woman which makes my thighs and legs look deformed.

Please help.

Thank you.

Hi akshaymohl,

My lab work all came back negative. My cholesterol was a bit high which I attribute to my splurging on cheese.

My diet consist of primarily proteins (fish, chicken, turkey, nuts, seeds, beans), fruit and vegestables. I cannot digest carbs nor grains.

No longer menstruate at my age of 50 years old.

Please let me know if you need any other information.

Thank you

Hello akshaymohl,

I checked out my body and weighed myself this morning. It looks like I am having water retention all over but to me it is more obvious on my legs and thighs. My socks leave huge indententions on my legs.

I suspect that my kidneys are not functioning properly and am retaining too much water.

A friend of mine told me it is possible that I have low thyroid that is contributing to this problem. According to the medical lab tests, my thyroid is ok.

The swelling does not appear to be cellulite nor fat.

Thank you for your help.

Yes, Apis Mel should help you in a major way for this problem.

I've taken Apis 30c for 5 days. Is it too early to know whether or not it is working? So far, I have not noticed any results.

Thank you again for your help.

This could be due to hypo-thyroid condition. Pl. get thyroid gland tests done.

For elemination water retention ..start taking Natrum Sulph 6X ...four tabs ...four times a day. Continue for 3 weeks. Send an interim feed back on progress.

Pankaj,
Thank you for your kind help.

If I have a hypo-thyroid condition, homeopathy will not work? Or do you mean that that is why my kidneys don't work? Please explain your comment 'These could be due to hypo-thyroid condition.' Thx

See .....one of the reasons legs get swelling is that thyroid gland is malfunctioning.

That is why I suggested to you to get a thyroid test done.

Homeopathy will work better if we get to know 'what caused it ?'

In your earlier posts I have not seen any mention of malfunction of kidney (s)...can you elaborate.

Pankaj Varma
 
PANKAJ VARMA last decade
What I imply is that you have not given us details of any tests done for malfunction of kidneys.

If you are assuming it is water retention...causing it...then Natrum Sulph is a good med to take as suggested by me earlier.

Pankaj,

I just went to the doctor in May complaining of my legs. He tested for many things including thyroid. All of my tests came back negative.

But as we know, lab test come back negative only when the problem is very serious.

What do you suggest I take for my thyroid?
 
helpmeplease last decade
You start taking natrum sulph 6x as suggested earlier. (It is meant to eliminate water retention and is a kidney -cum- liver tonic).

Meanwhile , post you full medical history ...ailments gone through from childhood till now.

Have you tried homeopathic treatment earlier ? Details and what level of success achieved ?

Will analyse your case in detail and guide you.

The patient is suffering from Retention of water (swelling) and she is also taking protien rich diet. It is advisable for the patient in such circumstances to get her kidney profile done. The doctors (earlier posts) have already taken note of this aspect and they are moving in right direction to arrive at the remedy. Still, i think that she should get done her kidney profile. She has not speicified clearly that her kidney tests were also normal in may 2008. She herself suspects that her kidneys are not functioning properly.
 
kadwa last decade
Yaa...He is right !

Kadwa,

The medical doctor did check my kidneys. Not sure if he did a kidney profile because I don't know what that is. But the doctor checked for a whole bunch of things that could be the possible cause of the swelling in my legs.

Yesterday, I finally noticed that my pants fit loose. I'm feeling more thirsty as well and drinking a bit more water. So it looks like the Apis is working.


I understand that women going through menopause get water retention. I'm 50 and this could also be part of the aging process. So the andrenal glands could be affecting the functioning of the kidneys. Adrenal glands are involved in producing the hormones.

I hope the Apis will gives me the results I need to get rid of all the excess water.

Thank you Kadwa and Pankaj for your help. I appreciate it very much.

Please suggest anything else that could help me.

i am glad to hear that your health has reponded well to Apis. please follow Dr. Mohla's advice as he hit the right remedy in the first instance itself.
The presence of Mr. Pankaj is also good for the progress of the case.
Please try to cut protien in your diet. i know that you have a problem. But try as much as you can.
 
kadwa last decade
I am not surpirsed that Apis has shown results after a few days..it is a common phenomenon of Apis Mel.

Keep reporting progress here ..many people are here to help you further.
