My latest E.R. visit

So my feet are swollen, sore and dark red like someone who has days or hours left and I am non-functional exhausted somewhere between awake and asleep for three days. Thinking it's my heart, kidneys, liver or some other critical failure I go to the hospital. They tell me all my vitals and blood work looked fine, blood glucose was 97, ekg was fine, but my thyroid was low. So they give me synthroid and send me home with no answers. Do you o agree the thyroid may be the problem? Do you think the feet need more movement and excercise or something else??

  1. My Brother other than for the color of her feet, my wife is experiencing similar symptoms and she is doing physical therapy Twice a week. I hope you and your medical team can get to the bottom of your situation.
    I told my wife just keep it simple and do gentle stretching exercises for now.
    Sorry I can't be of any help.
    Movement is always good just be mindful and go gently you don't need a fall on top of everything else.
    Good luck to you.

    1. Let me briefly commend your course of action and second it to anthonyp. My motto is move it or lose it unless a bone is sticking out of your skin!
