I'm posting here in case anyone has any bright ideas .
Today I have spent 40 mins with a lovely gp- and his words were - something is wrong - I just don't know what .
Last year I had a sudden swelling from my left knee all the way to my foot . No injury . Pain in my knee and ankle .
Went with bed rest .
Pain and slight swelling has continued for a year , then ankle pain and swelling . Went as fast as it came .
3 weeks ago the ankle pain and swelling came back rendering me immobile. Both ankles felt like someone had taken a lump hammer to them . I could not manage stairs or steps .
Rest has helped . But as soon as I attempt to move it comes back . My ankles are swollen every night , discoloured and painful . Tops
Of feet are tight an swollen .
I'm fatigued beyond belief (sleeping 18 hours some days)
Night sweats.
Gained 2 stone in a few months
Coughing and wheezing
Doctor is sending me for bloods tomorrow and a chest X-ray .
I'm 51 and up to last year was healthy , fit , active .
I'm taking hrt and have been for 2 years.
I'm now using ventolin 4-5 times a day .
Ideas please .
