3. Fluid buildup in the legs
is an early sign of Wilson’s disease. When you have a fluid buildup, it’s harder to walk and stay on your feet for too long. If you have a job that requires you to be on your feet for a long time, you will have to quit or ask to sit to complete your tasks. It will even be difficult to do house chores and go to the grocery store.
You can have someone do things for you, but the fluid won’t go away on its own. Your primary care physician needs to be aware of your problem because there is likely an underlying problem, such as Wilson’s disease. The fluid should start to go away once you get the right medicine inside of your body. You will be able to do things on your own and not have to depend on anyone to do things for you.
