Red/Purple Painfully Swollen Feet & Legs :: Dr.'s can't figure it out!!!

Same condition as above described, specialist unable to diagnose. Naproxen 250 mg, anti-inflammatory once a day with solid food (no liquids, otherwise rectal problems) prescription calls for twice a day, long term effects harmful. This is a miracle drug for me, otherwise unable to walk. James from Ontario, Canada.

I think they call it edema

Hello, I hope you have made progress on your condition. My 68 yo mother has had the exact same symptoms beginning 6 years ago. She had zero health issues before the symptoms' sudden onset--walked every day, yoga three times weekly,and regular bike riding. It all seemed to start with what she called a "asthma attack" which sent her to the ER. Several allergy/asthma appointments resulted in allergy shots weekly and several lond-term bronchodilators and steroid inhalers. Her legs were extremely swollen purple, smooth and shiny. She cried often from the intense pain. She has been tested for MS, RA, various other Rheumatic diseases with no answers. Currently, she on several medications for the neuropathy.. Final diagnosis from her neurologist was "idiopathic neuropathy". Only relief she gets is from a TENS unit for both legs. Asthma still being treated to this day.

Worried daughter

After taking a decent hot shower my knees and legs are purple. I need to know what is wrong. I am 14.

Hi, I have some buttons on my legs. They look like black heads, but when my period comes, they swell, and I can't walk. Could someone tell me what that is?
