Investigation for swollen limbs

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for query.
first we need to find out reasons for swollen limbs. Treating cause would get rid of swelling.
How long do you have swelling? is it both sides? do you have swollen face, neck etc? do you have hormone problems like thyroid, Cushing's?
Were you bitten by insect ? do you take any medicines? Are you overweight?
have you tried compression stockings to reduce swelling?

Brief Answer:
Stop ghb which has sodium

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
GHB has psychoactive drug and better drugs available.
GHB has sodium hence retention of water is common side effect. I suggest to take alternative medicine instead of GHB.
Please ask your physician for a change.
Note: For further queries, consult a joint and bone specialist, an Orthopaedic surgeon. Book a Call now.
