Glad to hear you got the all-clear from your gynae! But that's really annoying that they don't take the bloating in your legs seriously - body image, hah! - they just don't know how painful it is! I had the same very badly in the run up to my op, also couldn't straighten my right leg properly, also limped a lot, also pain, pain, pain. Well, in my case getting rid of the fibroid solved all of that, which isn't any help to you ... There are so many possible reasons for swelling in the legs, my mother had the same due to liver disease, but I think it's all because of water retention, whatever is causing that ... anyway you know what the old woman said when asked for advice "If I'd known then what I know now, I'd have kept my legs in a jar on the shelf!"
BTW it's about time someone thanked you for asking all the questions the rest of us also want answers to! It's nice to know that someone else is wondering the same things - so thanks!
Josephine
