Just got my blood test results back. GP said gaily (honestly) everything absolutely fine, which is good don't get me wrong I'm not wanting poor functioning on anything, but as I said to her.What is causing my legs to be swollen?. Probably just a bit of fluid retention she said take some diuretics.
Okay so why have I suddenly started retaining fluid, she couldn't answer just repeated everything is looking fine. So I would be very grateful if people here can have a look at the following and see if anything jumps out at them. Or any observations in general would be good.
Sorry no reference ranges (is this a new way of giving copies to NHS patients) so difficult to interpret them myself.
