...problem? Should I be concered? I'm a 25 year old female and about a year ago I started noticing when it would be VERY hot outside ( in the 90's) my right foot and ankle would swell and I would have pitting adema. (sp) This would go away with some icing and soaking in warm salt water. Well, this summer, it didn't go away. I went to my doctor and they recommended watching my sodium intake and that it was possibily hereditary (sp). No one in my family has ever had this problem. I've since been eating very healthy and exercising and quit smoking (6 months now.) And my foot still has not gotten any better. Recently, I've noticed my right arm goes numb easily. Has anyone ever had this happen? And ideas as to what I could do? Please give me some words of advice here.
