Edema: You really need to ask each dr. What they believe the problem is. Edema isn't generally all that hard to figure out and you've seen specialists appropriate to make the diagnosis. Sometimes it is just bad lower extremity veins causing the lower extremity edema but there isn't enough information here to speculate.

Edema's cause: The most common causes of edema are, acute kidney failure, cardiomyopathy, chronic kidney failure, varicose veins, congestive heart failure, lymphedema, nephrotic syndrome, use of nsaid's, pericarditis and thrombophelbiitis. As you have no cardiac disease, have your lymphatic system and your veins of your legs checked. See: http://www.Mayoclinic.Org/symptoms/leg-swelling/basics/causes/sym-20050910.
