Well, it could be a lot of things!. But the best advice I can offer you as a doctor is to go see one!. You probably have an infection in you knee!. It would cause blood to have a hard time getting to the feet and legs but it is impossible to tell without an examination, so go to the doctors right away!. Do your parents know about it!? they should be very concerned!!!!!!!!!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Maybe you are eating too much salt!. That can cause you to retain fluid!. Try cutting back on sodium!. Read the labels on the food you eat!. Processed foods are loaded with sodium!. Also, restaurant and fast foods are pack with sodium!. Quit adding salt to your food at the table!. Drink more water to help wash the salt out of your body!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Not to scare you, but this sounds like what happened to my mom - she wound up with a blood clot behind her knee, it's now travelled up to her groin and the docs have her on Cumadin, a blood-thinner!. Go get it checked out - may be nothing, but better to hear it from a doctor!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
