Thank you Mark, yes I was very slender growing up and just gained weight when I was pregnant. Now I am down to 108. I haven’t been that weight since high school and I am 50 it is kinda disturbing to me. I will ask about the nerve bundle when I see my surgeon at the beginning of Dec. thank you for all your advice and yes I have many questions and will check in regularly. 🙂

Hi @103196 LionessCA

The first thing you need to do is confirm that you have MALs so ask your primary or consultant for an angiogram. In your case I would suggest they do your whole torso from the pelvis up. There may be more going on with the swelling. Tell the consultant to make a note about looking for MALs so the radiographer actually looks for it. I'm guessing here, but with the amount of testing you have had they probably have done one but the Radiographer may have missed it.
