Hello, New to boards but unfortunately not to IC. Have had for 11 years developed when I was 19.
Does anyone experience edema in there legs(all over but mainly my legs/hands(fingers)? I get such bad edema(for 11 years now!!) that I have a hard time walking sometimes. My ankles swell so much they are as big as my calves at times. I have tried everything from natural to prescription meds without success.
I developed IC after a few UTI(s). The weird thing is that when I had my UTI before my IC, I also swelled like this, even more than now. I also have very enlarged lymph glands below my ear as well (the parotid glands). These too were enlarged prior to my IC when I had my UTI, but again much larger, the size of a golfball.
Has anyone experienced these weird symptoms? My body seems to have these bizarre symptoms, along with the typical IC symptoms, that I can't seem to find anyone having? This disease is such a FRICKIN mess! People truly do not understand unless they have it.
Thanks for any responses/info to my post!
