Question on edema?
Answers:
Yes, I presume it would be fundamentally possible for the swelling in thighs and hips. I also contemplate that if this is happening--you have need of to see a doctor. If you are swelling in these areas, it would be possible for the upper parts of your body to be retaining fluid, also--such as fluid around the heart and in and around the lungs. This is a short time ago my judgment but I surmise a doctor's adice would be so much better. Good luck
