Hi there

I do think that it would be a very good idea for you to make an appointment to see a GP as soon as possible.

Fluid retention could be for all sorts of reasons but it should never be ignored.

If you cannot get a doctors appointment, can you get to a walk in centre?

Wishing you less pain and more peace

Hi littlebit11

I am so genuinely sorry to read that you are experiencing this issue, and I would definitely discuss it with your doctor. I have this problem and I am on medication to help alleviate the fluid.

I have pasted you the NHS Choices cache on this issue below:

I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck, and please take care of yourself.

All my hopes and dreams for you
