Hi Anne
I would get it checked out with your Doctor. I should have done that today as I’ve also been suffering in the heat and I went with a small list, but forgot that one!
I did suffer with this in 2005 pre-BC dx and it turned out to be a thyroid problem. So your GP would be a good place to start.
all the best Wizz
Hi Wizz, thanks for your reply. I am going to see the doc tomorrow hopefully i can get an appointment! I am already on thyroxine for an underactive throid gland so cant be that. Will let you know how i get on .

hi Anne
i had some swelling of legs up the front of calves (pre-tibial oedema), but it has gotten worse since finishing treatment… or maybe its coincided with me doing more because i have more energy and also going back to work.
my feet and ankles now get very swollen even when i sit with my feet raised and have very marked pitting oedema… still get it up the front of my legs too up to my knees but my feet look a bit deformed when i take my shoes off.
i have had 101 blood tests so dont really know why i have it and have no cardiac problems except for high cholesterol but nothing that would be a cause for the oedema… probably just on my feet too much after spending a year vegging on the sofa.
if its something new for you though id def go and get it checked out.

Hi Anne - sorry no answers but agree with Lulu you need to ask about it. Thinking of you.
