My leg that was swollen is the same but the lymphatic massage has made my ankle swell up. The masseuse says she’s never seen it before which isn’t great to hear. Could my endo be causing an issue with my lymph drainage? I’ve also put on weight recently quite suddenly. Slightly panicking.

I feel like endo causes all different issues. I can’t count all other diseases I was diagnosed with when had severe endometriosis. Once I was in induced medical menopause all the other disorders/ diseases
/ conditions were gone in a split of second. Definitely endo causes water retention( this might be the extra weight detecting) as far as swelling , I won’t be surprised endo is a root cause. when my endo is shorting I have so much pain in my legs and also stiffness. so fed up with it 😞

Thanks so much. Sorry I’ve just seen your reply. What are you doing to manage it now? I’m trying to manage with diet. Had another MRI last week so waiting to hear what’s going on. Having one once a year atm which can’t be great!
