I'm a 48 yr old female and, after many years of suffering, was finally diagnosed with Hashi's Hypothyroid in late 2014. I have yet to be on a stable medication dosage for more than 3 months at a time since Oct. 2014.
I don't eat much salt but I continually have pitting edema down both shins ALL of the time...but especially by the end of the day. It's actually bad enough that my socks leave indentations in my legs for 10 or so minutes after I take them off at night and my feet actually tingle from the nerve in my ankles being compressed by edema. I do work on my feet all day on hard concrete floors but the pitting never goes completely away no matter how long I have my feet up.
Does anyone else suffer with this? Is there anything I can do to reduce it? Is this a sign that my medication dose still isn't optimum?
