@justwrite What makes you feel the swelling is not fluid? If there is swelling there has to be fluid there I would think. I had terrible swelling in my feet and ankles at one point, much worse when traveling or when I had much sodium.
I presume it is after you get up and your weight is on your legs, that they swell. That really is a conundrum, particularly since you have seen numerous doctors and none have figured it out. I went through a similar problem, the reason my problem was not diagnosed was that none of the doctors were adding up other symptoms that seemed to be unrelated but actually were not.
I have said numerous times on this forum, I will never again rely on local doctors to figure something out. If you have not seen doctors at a major medical facility, preferably a teaching hospital, then go to one. It took almost a year and a half for me to get a diagnosis. That will never happen again.

thanks for response. I have crohns disease and it took me 5 years to get diagnosed because my symptoms were atypical. So I will keep going but not sure who to turn to next -- probably a teaching hospital
