What is the cause of weeping leg oedema?
I am not a doctor but I had this condition a few years ago. My lower legs were swollen (edema). Nearly every morning, within an hour or two after I woke up, both legs would start "weeping" (a clear fluid coming out of the leg). The weeping was significant enough that by 10am, my blue jeans would be soaked through from the knees down. I went from one doctor to another seeking diagnosis and treatment of this condition. No one seemed able to help. Finally, after 5 years of dealing with this, I was finally referred to a liver specialist. He found that I had cirrhossis of the liver from non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and I would die if I did not get a liver transplant. Once I started working with liver specialist, I learned that weeping legs sometimes occurred in cases of liver failure. If you have this symptom, it is important to ask your doctor to check your liver. Weeping leg edema is a condition where fluid pools and builds up in the legs. These are left over fluids from the blood that your heart pumps.
