Swollen Leg

Hello people.. This is oh so lovable Johnny... Well, I've posted many prayer requests at CMC and this is my first one here. This has to do with my health as it's been an issue with for some time. Here is the deal..

April 2004 I got off a prescripted appetitee supressant to deal with the weight problems I've had since I was 13. Well that didn't help anything and I ended up going off the pills and eating more then I had before.

So I gained some weight and what really freaked me out was that my left leg exploded in size swelling up to twice the size of my right leg. It's been hard
to walk and very painful. My left foot is swollen to the size of a soft ball.

It's been like this for about a year now and I haven't gone to the doctors to get it checked out because I'm stubborn and had other health ailments to deal with. But the last four months the pain was intense effecting my knee, my shin, and my calf.

So Saturday I finally went to the doctors at the free clinic after a year and three months of near unbearable pain in my leg. He told me that it could be a blood clot, or it could be that I have a fluid and blood build up because of my size. Lymphodema or something.

I went to get an Ultrasound to yesterday(Tuesday) at the Hospital and need to call the doctor who gave me the check up this Friday. So I will see just what the problem really is and the doctor told me saturday to do these three things below:

wrap my leg in ace bandage everyday
Take an aspirine to thin my blood
and elevate my leg and stay off it unless I'm walking around.

I am very worried because it hurts alot and I want it to go back to normal. I am just asking for prayer because I believe so much in it's power. Guys and gals please keep me in your prayers. About the Ultrasound results and the fact that I need to correct this problem with my leg.
