Question:
Why does the skin on my thighs hurt when I lightly press in on them with my fingers?
I have larger thighs than I'd like to admit. Since I've been taking lithium the last 5 years I'm sure my body is bloated with water and make my thighs look even more wonderful. I don't feel like the lithium is causing this but I guess it could be. Any other reason why the skin on my thighs feels tight and painful when I put pressure on them?
Answers:
Lithium can definitely be the culprit in this case. Your symptoms also suggest that you may be in the beginning stages of lymphadema, and I pray that is not true.
Seek a doctor's advise on switching from lithium to something that doesn't have side effects such as the ones lithium brings.
Lithium is a light metal and reacts in the body much as salt does. It works wonderfully for many different disorders, but it can wreak havoc on the body, especially after long term use.
I have been on the stuff for so long I can't remember, and it has helped ruin my liver, kidneys, virility, and even my circulation.
Unfortunately for me, the alternatives leave me no choice but to use lithium, sometimes up to 2 grams (2000 mg a day)
God Bless you, and thanks for reading.
