Whilst looking at a census return last night, I found that one of my Great Greats was listed as having "milk leg". Sounds, bizarre, anyone come across this before ? Paul |

OR: a swollen condition of the leg, usually in puerperal women, caused by an inflammation of veins, and characterized by a white appearance |

Now be honest, you googled that didn't you - suddenly struck me to do the same. The lady in question was 58 at the time, and her youngest child was 12, so either this was a long running condition or wasn't directly related to childbirth ! NB, the youngest child had a "withered leg". Didn't have a lot of luck with legs did they ? |
