Over the past two weeks I have noticed that both my feet keep swelling and I have red lumps on the back of my calf muscle on my left leg my big toe nails have what looks like bruises under them I've also had 4blisters on my stomach and like fluid on my left elbow everything seems to be down my left side I also feel so tired all the time I've got a telephone appointment with my doctor but that's not for two weeks and I go to hospital to find out

    Hi and thanks for the post

    It must be stressful having some unexplained symptoms, but no one here will be able to say what may be the matter. If these are new symptoms that your GP isn't aware of, then do let them know.

    If you are going to the hospital for an appointment, if necessary, they can refer you for further tests to help them find out what may be behind your symptoms. There are usually a number of possible different explanations, not just cancer, so try and not jump ahead and assume anything. Hopefully, they will be able to find out what may be the problem.

    There's nothing at the moment that you can do unfortunately, so take each day as it comes - hopefully the next 2 weeks will pass quickly.

    All the best
