Swollen feet

Butiki, my feet have been pretty swollen the past few days as well. It's probably because I was in my chair by 10:30am and stay there till 3am in the morning for the past couple days. Do you prop your legs up in bed? I always have a pillow under my ankles to help the blood flow back up and to help keep pressure off my heels.

Frusemide? Butiki does it have any side effects? My ankles swell like crazy on the days that I work. I wear ankle braces on both ankles to keep some of the swelling down, but if Frusemide works for you, I will mention it to my doctor.

My feet started swelling about the same time my doc increased my Lyrica. So I went down in my dose instead and it has helped the swelling.
Hasn't helped the discomfort of the neurophathy, but unitl the shocks return I'll deal with it.

So I guess my point is swelling may also be related to the meds your on. May be worth checking out Butiki. Good Luck

kilg0retr0ut, I had the same effect from Lyrica, but am not taking it any longer.

I found that drinking tea and coffee, which both have diuretic effect, has helped minimize my foot swelling. I make tea weak, 1 bag to quart of water, to limit caffeine intake. And just one mug of espresso in the morning instead of a pot...

Glad to hear that it's nothing serious Butiki and definitely use your legs whenever you can

I also take furosemide (also known as lasix) 20 mg. twice a day for swelling, as well as reduction of blood pressure. I still have to elevate my legs regularly, or my feet & lower legs get quite big. The only side effect I've ever had is that my urine output goes way up!
