sounds like your pitting (retaining fluid) how is your blood pressure you may need a diuretic- water pill I would not let that go on drink plenty of water and go to your Doctor heart problems are the silent killer and if it is that you are retaining fluid it may be heart related

You should definitely go to your family physician.  There are many things you could have.  to me, (not a doctor) it sounds like rheumatoid arthritis or fibromyalgia or mono.   but I am not a doctor so I don't have any real advice except to see one!  Hope this gets resolved soon.

Weakness, fatigue, paleness, shortness of breath, dizziness, changes in heart rate, craving for clay, dirt, or ice, brittle nails and possibly black stools if anemia is due to gastric bleeding. The black and blue spots are NOT a symptom of anemia. YOU SHOULD CONTACT YOUR DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY so that he can determine if you have some other serious condition.

it depends on your age. sounds like arthritis, lupus, mono, it just depends. i would have to ask you further questions to determine.

The liver is one of the hardest working organs in the human body. But sometimes the liver is overworked and begins to show signs that it isn’t functioning at total capacity. Some of the signs of liver problems are fatigue, loss of appetite, weight loss, bruising or bleeding easily, bloating due to a fluid buildup in the abdomen and declining mental function. Liver problems often make the skin and the whites of the eyes turn yellow, a condition called jaundice, and may cause swelling in the legs and the abdomen. A human cannot live without a liver that works. If your liver fails, your doctor may put you on a waiting list for a liver transplant. In adults, the most common reason for liver transplantation is cirrhosis. Cirrhosis is caused by many different types of liver injuries that destroy healthy liver cells and replace them with scar tissue. Cirrhosis can be caused by viruses such as hepatitis B and C, alcohol abuse, buildup of fat in the liver, and autoimmune and hereditary liver diseases.

I haven't any advice because I have the same problem. I search it but I have no idea what it is. I found these two sites maybe you will find something. My daughter has something similar. I think that she must do some blood check (ask for a RA test). It's for athritis. And see an other doctor and an other.. till you find what is happening (as I do).

Sounds like you are subconsciously making up for the slight immobility in your leg. I can understand why it would cause foot pain, especially in the Achilles tendon, since your inertia as you move would be causing you to be hyperextending your foot. It's probably also connected to the knee pain. You may have developed a habitual limp. Anyone who's ever injured their knee or ankle has experienced the same sort of feeling. I can imagine that this feels completely abnormal though, or else you wouldn't have been describing it here. If you have BlueCross BlueShield, I know that specialists are covered without recommendation under "special office visits". You should have an orthopaedist do an xray to ensure that your cartilage isn't developing elasticity and that it's not flipping around a bone or growth. He should also watch your walk and see what habits you may have developed. Do you have a cane? I've learned that this can cause a weekness in certain muscles, causing others to over-compensate.

Bile, it is a bi-product of the liver. Please seek MD assistance. Go to ER.

You could have inflamed cartilege.\nSee a doc and do an mri of the knee. That should tell him if there is an inflamation due to a tear.\n\nIn the meatime try an antiinflammatory drug like aleve.

Yes. My fathers and mother in laws feet get that way. They are diabetic. They also have a rash like look on the feet as well. You should really go to the doctor. Feet swelling and blueness is the first sign of diabeties. Also if you are over weight and on your feet alot, that could also be a problem

Sounds more like liver failure to me, and there is a syndrome when both fail to function, called hepato-renal syndrome.\n\nOR\n\nCould be gallbladder disease, true true unrelated.

There are a multitude of possibilities. If you are active in sports, it could be Baker's cyst (in which case you'd want to have it checked out). It could be runner's knee and cured by Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation and even over the counter anti-inflammatory medication. Be careful about anti-inflammatories, however, as no swelling does not mean the injury is cured. You may do further damage to an injury while a pain killer is numbing the symptoms.\n\nIf there was no precipitant or cause for the swelling, it could be more serius. Why take a risk with self diagnosis? \n\nSee a doctor, but don't take anti-inflammatories right before the doctor's visit as he/she will need to see the swelling.

Id agree with seeing a physical therapist which i am or a doctor doc would be better to see first. being your not having any pain it cant be cartiliage it could be a bone chip or  osteroposis but id believe that if your knee is snapping youd either be in pain or be heavily swollen. if you dont want to see the dr. right away id suggest doing some stretches because it may also be fluid in the knee. stretching would eliminate that problem for the most part.

He should go and see a doctor.......could have an inflammation of the liver or something else. Might be /or not related.\nAlcohol abuse can cause loads of problems.
