Edema since childhood?!

Yess you get it! It’s extremely hard it comes with so many issues. Basically growth hormones activates your body to grow the pituitary gland controls like most if not all of your hormones and I have issues with mine.

Basically edema is water retention typically in the feet/ankles but it can be in other places too ever since my mother took me off of the growth hormone shots as a child my feet had swollen and haven’t went down since unless I drink water.

They only hurt if I don’t drink water whenever I walk on them I can feel my weight pressing down and I’m obviously overweight. It’s difficult dealing with that and depression.
