A questions about leg swelling and pretibial myxedema: Is the swelling you are experiencing “pitting” or “nonpitting” edema? I have read that the kind of swelling that comes with pretibial myxedema is nonpitting–when you push with your finger, it doesn’t make a lasting dent. Has anyone had the pitting kind of edema with this?
I’m trying to figure out what’s wrong with my shins and ankles; I’ve gotten different opinions from various doctors, none of whom have actually seen pretibial myxedema.
Thanks.
