I have "googled" all my doctors as well. I agree, I believe most of the sites that list complaints and such about doctors do cost money!
By law, in the United States, you are entitled to any or all of your medical files. They may require you to sign a release form but that can be done via fax if you have access to one. All the lab reports I've ever seen have been on a separate paper and it will show your result and what the "normal" range is supposed to be.
They retested my ANA (generally for Lupus), Thyroid, White blood cell counts, Sed Rate (measures amount of inflammation in your body) RA antibody and a few other things. I'm waiting for the list to be sent to me and I'll give you all the exacts as soon as I get it.
Its not normal to have swelling for no reason. Sure, women's feet will swell a bit from hormones and such but generally speaking, swelling is not normal and I would take pictures of the swelling to show the doctor next time you go. Especially if its a relatively new symptom!
