What can cause that and why?!!:os

What can cause that and why?!!:os

Just that complain alone won't lead to a specific diagnosis unless you specify the age & gender of the patient, duration of the complain, whether associated with any other complains

Generally, if it is not secondary to any trauma or sprain, then in females it can be related to both pregnancy or menstruation

However, any serious condition that can lead to such signs must be rules out, conditions that can lead to fluid retention (oedema), such as kidney or heart failure

OMG!!!! My friend grand ma has it!!!! She says it hurts so bad poor lady! :(

I found something for you online ....

Your problem could be Cardiac Congestion or allergy or anything else. Better get it diagonosed. In India this happenes with adultered Mustard Oil where Argemone Mexicana seed oil is mixed with Mustard Oil.

Anyway you can check which medicine suits you:

#Arsenicum. [Ars]
This remedy is suitable in all forms of dropsy, particularly in those depending on disorders of the heart and lungs. In dropsy of renal origin it also stands prominent. There is puffiness of the face with oedema about the eyelids, waxy transparent skin, thirst, vomiting, etc. Ulcers forming on the legs. In dropsy oozing of a serum is also and indication. This is found also under Rhus and Lycopodium. Arsenicum is an important diuretic.

#Acetic acid. [Act-ac]
Here we have the waxen, emaciated, alabaster skin and dropsies especially about the lower limbs and abdomen. There is thirst, sour belching, water brash and diarrhoea, a broken down constitution. It stands between Apis and Arsenicum, but it has great thirst, and the prominent gastric symptoms will separate it from Arsenicum. Profuse sweating is a prominent symptom.

#Apocynum Cannabinum. [Apoc]
This drug is useful for swelling anywhere of dropsical origin disease. It seldom does more than palliate, though in renal dropsy it may do more. The special symptoms calling for it are a gone feeling at the pit of the stomach, cannot tolerate food, great thirst, but drinking causes distress,irregular heart, torpidity and slow pulse. It seems to be a diuretic in small doses, hence this effect can only be palliative and when so used it should be freshly prepared.

#Digitalis. [Dig]
Cardiac dropsies; feeble irregular heart, feeling as if it should still with desire to take a deep breath; scanty, dark, albuminous urine, slow pulse, scrotum and penis swollen. Hydropericardium, hydrothorax. Cold sweat. Dropsies of brain. Post scarlatinal dropsy, anasarca with a bluish cyanotic color. In dropsies of the chest Mercurius sulphuratus should be remembered. Muriatic acid. Dropsy from cirrhosed liver.

#Helleborus. [Hell]
This is a very useful remedy in many forms of dropsy. There is a jelly-like diarrhoea, urine dark and scanty. It may be used in general anasarea, ascites, post scarlatinal dropsies, and here it has proved a marvelous remedy. Sudden dropsies, acute dropsies accompanied by great debility. Hydrocephalus.

#Lachesis. [Lach]
Dropsy, urine dark and albuminous, dark skin or bluish white. Hydrothorax with suffocative fits after scarlet fever may indicate the remedy. Terebinth. Dropsy from congestion of the kidney, dull aching in renal region and dark, smoky urine. Colchicum. Dropsy with dark urine, especially as a complication of rheumatism may indicate this remedy. Lycopodium. Dropsy from liver disease; lower half of body and abdomen distended. Ulcers form on lower extremities.

And also I've done some research, and came across this website.. check it out, you might find something that will help you... I really hope so!
