What Causes Recurring Inflammation In Legs, Ankles And Feet?

If I have recurring inflammation (legs, ankles, feet, sometimes hands), weight gain (need to exercise, but have been eating pretty well - very little meat, lots of veggies, etc.), tiredness, some hair loss, sometimes double vision, pain in joints (mostly hands). I do have lichen sclerosis which I was told is an autoimmune disease, but I don t think these other issues should be related to that.

Thanks for contacting at my Virtual clinic. I understand your health issues.
Its all inter-related. Lichen Sclerosis is autoimmune disease. And autoimmune diseases cause inflammations often.
If there is swelling in legs, please consult your physician for work up of cardiac issues and BP if any. LFTS RFTS AND LIPID PROFILE and all blood work is needed to be done.
Dont forget to give feedback to better assist u in future.
