Hi Dr Shook. Is there any link between on and off leg swelling and Graves? Heart had been checked and all good. Could it be a clogged lymphatic system? When legs swell, thyroid swells, and eyes swell. All seems connected.
There have been cases of edema with Graves. Chronic inflammation in the body has many physiological effects. Our approach to Graves disease is discussed in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_PFEvROC3Q&index=4&list=PL33ziP6AtNOdeczPMi0RgPS_OguBMdkDx&t=0s
