A member asked:
All organs tested normal, still have pitting edema. in what places can fluid hide where farxiga and bumex won't help. its been 3 yrs no one knows why.

Legs and abdomen: Many many individuals have "dependent edema", wherein fluid collects in "dependent" or gravity sensitive places in the body. In these instances venous return to the heart may be permanently impaired and hence fluid collection can occur. Most commonly found in the legs, in nursing home patients it may collect in the hips or even an arm.
