I would just wait to see a doctor as soon as I could. It sounds bad but not really life threatening... I just know I wouldn't call over an ambulance or anything for ankle swelling. It's too bad simply seeing a doctor is such a hassle.

Put your address as your current location, then do a search for "hospital."

Everything will be fine. It's happened to one of my relatives and they had their ankles/legs swelled up for a good couple days before they decided to go in and do something about it. Like wiccan said, just calmly take the steps to get yourself to where you need to be.

If you can afford it, it would be really easy to just call a taxi and ask him to take you to the nearest hospital.

Unfortunately I've become used to it.

Use your psychedelic training to regain your center and act from inner calm.

Do not let fear trigger a panic attack or flashback, because then you'll become psychosomatic and will start inventing symptoms.

I feel like my legs don't belong to me. This is a major type of strange. Like they are seperated and flowing off my body.


There is increased pressure within them, so that's bound to feel odd. I often retain some liters of water, when it approaches 10 liter or so I head for the hospital. As you today won't be drinking 5+ liters that kinda fluid retention won't happen overnight.

The swelling will probably slow as increased pressure in the legs decreases influx. Tingling toes are normal also - it's the pressure.

Can you take your pulse and estimate beats per minute?
Is it a soft or a hard pulse and is it regular or irregular?


(don't let me distract you from taking action)

I KNOW WHAT YOU SHOULD DO!!!

GOTO THE DOCTOR!!!

idk what time it is over there, but if they're closed, goto the emergency room! It may be something they can prioritize.

It feels like it's pulsing pretty firmly...

I think I counted around 94 beats for one moment

I might have to recount.

I won't be able to do anything until 5pm...(another hour or so) because that's when my partner gets off work. (we only have one car)

Do you think I'll be okay for the next few hours? I'm drinking water now...because I remembered I haven't been drinking a lot of water later (but I have had a lot of alcohol and Absinthe.).

That's what I wanted to hear. If if felt like a weak pulse and less than 60 beats per minute then you ought to call 911, but you're nowhere near that. So far your heart is coping with the excess fluid it seems, and you're not too freaked out or you'd have 120 BPM or so.

Quote:

You should. The excess fluid in your legs might coexist with a bit of dehydration in your body.


Quote:
I remembered I haven't been drinking a lot of water later (but I have had a lot of alcohol and Absinthe.).



I think that's part of what ails you. If you for some reason tend to fluid retention on a particular day, alcohol use will make it worse.

They still have to find out whats up but alcohol is almost guaranteed to be part of the reason.

Hmm.. if he's back in an hour or so and the edema took several hours or more to develop, then you might opt to wait it out. If it rapidly worsens you should take action of course.

I've had swollen ankles/feet for the past week or so but I've been ignoring it...I haven't been very healthy lately so I thought that might be the cause.  But then today it's just so obvious that something is amiss that I can't ignore it anymore.  I have been drinking a lot more recently (holidays) and haven't been as active as I was.  In fact I was going to drink tonight but now I don't know if I will be able to.  :frown:

Do you do heroin? That can cause poor circulation from collapsed veins/damaged veins.

I'm hoping for the best... it's always scary when something is wrong with your body, but it's always best to remain calm.

Yeah just calm down. It is probably freaking you the hell out but try to stay cool, remember mind over matter. Call 911, explain your situation and ask them to send an ambulance if you're really freakin out. I've seen really swollen feet and hands before, but not with someone as young as you.

MOTH, I wish you had called me, I would have taken you to the Doctor immediately.

I hope you're ok - when was the last time you ate a substantial meal?

I've been eating semi-regularly for a week or so, pretty shitty foods, health-wise. My drinking has been nightly...maybe my body is just having a reaction to all the stuff I've been putting into it.

I didn't go to the doctor tonight because Kevin didn't seem worried and I don't have health insurance. I will continue to elevate and hopefully the swelling will be down tomorrow...

I'm still kinda freaking out. I feel really unhappy with my body right now.

I can bring you right now if you want me to - just let me know. You should apply for Mass Health - if you don't have a job, you'll get approved, and health care is free.
