Lymph system problems

[Guest guest]

Dear group. I have a patient coming in tommorow who I have never met.

She is in her mid thirties. Caucasion. When she was a child she broke

her right leg. Last year she was diagnosed as hypothyroid and was put

on synthroid. Now whenever she ovulates her right leg becomes swollen

which her doctor says is connected to an inefficient lymph system. Any

suggestions? Thank you, Petra.

Petra-

tell us more when you find out.

 

does her whole leg swell or just her ankle or knee? is it a hot

swelling?

does it happen every month or only when the right ovary ovulates?

Hello group. It is just her right lower leg including knee. Just for the short

time that she is ovulating is it very swollen. She does not have a MDs DX of

Lymphodema. It is not hot. She also only has right side ovarian pain every

month, a little odd.Her pulse is deep, slippery and thready. Tongue not too red,

thick, yellow coat.. She was hit by a car as a child and had her tibia and femor

broken. She has been trying to get pregnant and kept miscarrying at which point

they diagnosed her as hypothyroid and put her on synthroid. This was around

December and also when the swelling began. Before her leg would only swell on

long flights. She has allergies, cold extremities. I am on vacation and away

from her file but any feedback would be appreciated here. Thank you .Philip
