Suffering With Filariasis, Have Continuous Swelling In Knee On Hanging The Legs. What Is The Cause?
MY FATHER IS AGENIG ABOVE 50. HE IS A DOCTOR SO ALLMOST ALL HIS WORK IS OF SEATING. HE IS A PATIENT OF FILIARISIS WHICH SHOWS ITS SYMPTOMS DURING A PARTICULAR TIME BUT NOW FROM 2 OR 3 MONTHS AGO WHENEVER HE PUTS HIS LEGS HANGING THROUGH CHAIR HIS BOTH LEGS BELOW KNEE GET SWOLLEN LIKE OEDEMA, ITS REMAINS FOR 2 OR 3 DAYS AND THEN IT DISAPPEARS. WHY THIS IS HAPPENING, DOES IT SHOWS ANY BLODD PROBLEM, PLZ HELP
Dear friend, welcome to HCM.
is it a proven filarasis or assumed?
it can occur due to lymphatic blockade and increases with gravity.
he should avoid keeping legs hanging down for long,
also elastic crepe bandages would help.
if not tested himself, he should also consider a routine lab check at his age, ECG, Xray, 2 d echo to rule out additional causes .
take care and pl. keep me posted on the progress.
