i'm sorry to hear your husband is going through this. it sounds very distressing for both of you. despite the negative test results i'd urge you not to give up. some conditions evolve over time and may take repeated testing to identify. i'd suggest you make a follow-up appointment with your husband's primary health care provider to discuss these symptoms and how they've progressed. edema or swelling of the legs and arms often is occurs when the veins aren't working properly to return blood to the heart. blood pools in the veins and some of the fluid component of the blood seeps into the surrounding tissue causing swelling. very often excessive salt intake contributes to edema. your husband might consider reducing his salt intake. read food labels carefully; you'll be surprised how much sodium is lurking in there! smoking cigarettes also can contribute to poor circulation especially in the legs. if your husband smokes i'd suggest he seek medical help to quit. hope this helps!
husband has swelling in his entire legs and hands and has pain and see below. all blood work- negative and has had all the heart scans and ultra sounds and echo cardiogram and everything is normal. the doctors do not know what it is. could it be that his veins are leaking blood back into his system? he does have burning and numbness and tingling in his hands feet and posterior especially when he is at rest or driving.
