Are you on a diuretic?
Sometimes I get one ankle that swells more than the other..I notice it's the leg/foot I put more weight on the more it swells..I have nerve damage so I favor one leg more than the other that's the connection I've made...there may be other reasons..I'd be curious to other replies. |
I have had kidney stones in the past but to my knowledge, I don't have an obstruction and I do have asthma and I have had heart tests done. Do you suppose it could be do to asthma? It's just the one ankle/foot remember. Also, you had mentioned on a post that you have had stents for kidney stones. When you had the stent removed or the stones even, had you ever noticed that after urinating, it really didn't hurt but if you put pressure a little on the tummy, it was tender around the bladder area? I feel that kind of "discomfort" for about 5-10 min. after I urinate, but don't notice it unless I lean up again a counter or something and the feeling is on the same side as my stone was. I was just curious to see if that was normal either after stone removal surgery or from maybe a stent being place in there. I had the stent removed around the 1st of April of this year.
