People genuinely try to be helpful on this forum becaise they've BTDT in our difficult to navigate medical system. They are bound to feel a bit stung by someone who posts for help and dismisses all the answers on the grounds that her DH's doctor knows better than they. I am sure that is true. But if she is so sure that everone is wrong because they do not know all the background why is she posting? She could have just done google MD or contacted her DH's amazing doctor.

That said, I do hope OP's DH's condition improves and perhaps she'll be kind enough to update us.[/quote]

Just for the record, I really didn't post for help.   I was wondering what could cause swelling just one one side of the leg.   I really didn't ask what I should advise my husband to do.   If you read my original post, you will see I told you he had already consulted his medical advisor and was going in to be seen.   I wondered what could cause this, and when people suggested blood clot and immediate ER visit, I explained a little bit about why I thought that was unlikely.  The rest of the "wonderful doctor" stuff was just me trying to explain why, although I know doctors can be wrong, we are willing to trust the guy the sees.

I'm sorry for hurting people's feelings which apparently I have done by failing to take my husband to the ER.[/quote]
