    You don't have a problem w/varicose veins in that leg, do you? Or maybe you got a bite or sting of some sort and didn't realize it?
    Blessings,

    Sounds like something I have read about: lymphedema. You can read about it on Wikipedia or some other website. It is one of those conditions for which there is no certain diagnosis.

    I have heard of that in extremely obese people, but I don't qualify there at barely 100 lbs. I'm going to have to read up more on it tho, to see what else I can find out. Thanks - maybe I'll learn something.

    My friend Pam's left food was swollen VERY badly. She went to the ER and they never even took an x-ray! She went to her main doctor who immediately ordered an x-ray. Turns out she broke her foot and didn't know it when she fell down her stairs a month or so prior.

    Hope everything turns out okay, Ellie!!

    Well I know that's not my problem. When I fall, I do it up BIG! A fractured hip and a fractured wrist - within 4 months of each other. I've managed to stay on my feet this past year - thank God for small miracles!

    If it doesn't hurt it most likely is not injured but considering your weight I wouldn't wait until july to check it out since you are in good shape.
    don't breed or buy while shelter dogs die....

    I have been frosted!

    Thanks Kfamr for the signature!
