Swelling : Anasarca is generalized swelling . Do you have that or just swelling of the lower extremities ? If it is just swelling of the lower extremities , then you may have Lymhedema , which obstruction of the Lymphatic system . Work up should be devoted to looking for abdominal process causing obstruction of the Lymph system .

Are you really: Swollen to the point of making a mark if pressed all over your body?? All the major organ systems have been ruled out. Has anyone looked at your diet or other aspects of your endocrine system??
