I do have forearm and abdominal swelling, but not as noticeable as my ankle/foot swelling. My doctors also have said heart/circulation issues. I have never had ankle/foot swelling prior to 2015. I have trying to get diagnosed since January 2015 for my abdominal pain. I have an appt with my 4th GI doctor this week and am requesting testing for MALS.
I have ankle/foot swelling sometimes, also forearms and abdominal swelling. I'm post-menopausal and have low blood pressure. Do you have more than ankle/foot swelling, are other areas affected as well? We think it is related to MALS and/or ME/CFS circulatory and vascular problems rolled into one. I am just starting to have more assessments.
