I'm kind of torn between "I should do this every night" and "why the fuck was my leg literally leaking water". Is this a positive thing or a dangerous thing or what? Any quacks around to tell me WTF is going on?

obviously not a doc but you prob need a combination of diuretics(pills that make you pee more to get rid of excess water), thrombosis stockings and lymphatic drainage. see a doc or not, anyway take care

Thanks! I used to be on furosemide but it stopped working for me (just made my kidneys hurt BAD). I occasionally think about the special socks but haven't gotten around to getting them, guess I really should. Hadn't heard of "lymphatic drainage" before, I'll look into it.

bmup?

These disease distaster threads make me giggle

Water legs, also known as edema, is swelling caused by too much fluid trapped in the body's tissues. It often affects the legs and feet, and can be caused by various factors including medicines, pregnancy, diseases (such as congestive heart failure, kidney disease, venous insufficiency, or cirrhosis of the liver), or lifestyle factors like sitting or standing for long periods.
