Colostomy. Oedema.
Oedema is a condition that causes too much fluid (mainly water) to accumulate in your body. Any tissue or organ can be affected, particularly the hands, legs, feet and around the eyes and sufferers experience debilitating swelling. When lying in bed for a length of time it is the lower body ie: The Legs, that seems to be affected more. Its your kidneys' job to eliminate excess fluids from your body in your urine. If they fail to do this properly then fluid can soon build up in your tissues and result in swelling.
