Hello, my mother has been retaining so badly that she has gained at least 30 pounds, her doctor, however is aware of her condition although, ibelieve that the fluid pills are not helping. she scratched her arm and now is not bleeding water is coming out, i have suggested to her physician, could this be a kidney or even cogestive heart failure? my mother is 66 and now her weight is 340.

Hello, I am retaining water in my legs badly So much so when my kittens climbed my legs last night, they didnt bleed, water ran out. It soaked my sheets, my house shoes, even my regular shoes Now 24 hrs later water is still running out of where the kittens scratched me. I am worried it may be more than just water retention. Any ideas?
