my highs and lows, ups and downs - WLSurgery.com

lyndajoan · 29th October, 2011

well after just getting over a bad case of cellulitiss in both feet, my skin on my feet keeps comming off in big sheets, i have never seen nothing like it

to top it all i have been taking my warter tablets but my legs are so hard and swollen and red i am sooo pi...ed off with this but most of all worried i am sitting with my legs elevated and these support stocking i have got are not very supportive, i think i need a stronger tog.

i am going to try and get an appointment with my doctor on mon, but i am toying with the idea of going the walk in center tommorrow or talking to nhs direct as i am worried as i find it hard to walk as it is so now its even more difficult

just when i think things are looking up with getting my funding, i dont want when its time to see the surgon that he says no because of the swelling in my legs

thanks for listening. x x x x

I agree with this, Lynda .. don't sit there in pain worrying about it, ring them & they will advise you. Hope you are better soon, honey xxx

PhilT · 29th October, 2011

PurpleB · 29th October, 2011

I'd call NHS Direct too - they will put your mind at rest and let you know if it's ok to wait until tomorrow or Monday.

lyndajoan · 31st October, 2011

oh no

have you been to the docs yet?
im ok mate, just fed up with waiting for my op

lol

TwinkleTwinkle · 31st October, 2011

Have you had a medical opinion on that, Lynda or are you assuming it is water. I would get it checked as it it is anything else you could be getting treatment.
Hugs to you & my buddy Caren (((hugs))) xxx

lyndajoan · 31st October, 2011

no twinkle i know i am stupid to not have but i am assuming it is warter ,i think i will go the doc cos to put 12 pound on in 4 days is not normal that and with my legs swelling is why i thought it was warter retention.

You are probably right, but still best to see doctor as 12lbs is a lot of water xx
