Re: Has anyone ever experienced water on the...elbow?

[Guest guest]

Dan, cut back on the bromelain. If it is affecting yr elbow, who knows where

else you may be leaking and not see it?

Good piece of detective work!

Has anyone ever experienced " water on

the...elbow? "

I know it's very common to get water on the knee, especially after trauma or

surgery, but

suddenly over the past couple days, I've got water on the elbow -- this small

area of edema

that feels very watery, and a little gritty. It's not hot or excessively

swollen, but looks like

half a ping-pong ball sticking out of my elbow.

The rest of me is skinny as ever, so it's even more obvious. I tried to look

up localized

edema like this, and found it can be caused by " venous leakage " . Well, does

anyone know

how to reverse this leakage?

Another source said it can result from bromlain use (which I did start about 2

weeks back

because of my #@**!! frozen right shoulder. The elbow issue is on the right

arm as well...

Any suggestions would be sincerely appreciated! Compresses, supplements,

lymphatic

exercises (light ones due to the frozen shoulder situation)???

Take care everyone!

Hi Dan

I had this once about 8 years ago. My ankle swelled at one night. Swelling

was so much that I could not believe. Was at about 3 inches diameter and

went away over a night. I had eaten lots of sugar prior to this. I am

thinking that it was an allergic reaction related to adrenal

exhaustion.(Aldosterone problems??). I won't be able to say anything more

but I may suggest you to cut back or stop sugar,refined

carbohydrates,coffee,stimulants,eat some extra parsley, try to get some

extra rest.

Hope you feel better soon. Best wishes.

Here is another view on ankle/finger edema. Not sure if that fits to your

case but i thought you might be interested.

http://www.drkaslow.com/html/adrenal_insufficiency.html

1.. Ankle and/or Finger Swelling. Tintera, M.D. was an early pioneer

in recognizing and treating adrenal insufficiency. He wrote that salt is a

diuretic and that hypoadrenocortics (patients with low adrenal cortex

function) retain fluid because the body is trying to hold onto the salt.

When enough salt is consumed, the body takes what it needs and excretes the

rest. If the ankle edema is due to insufficient salt, the edema will usually

disappear in three days after taking adequate salt. If it does not disappear

in five to six days, potassium may also be needed. Vitamin B6 is also

helpful for edema not only because it has a diuretic effect but also

supports the adrenal cortex.
