What Causes Lower Back Pain And Swollen Legs Post Intake Of Misoprostol?

I have several allergies and I'm not sure if any of them could've been in the misoprostol ex:, ibuprofen-hives, eggs-hives gastrointestinal want to die, sulfa/pcn/doxy- gastrointestinal
What should I do, could this just be allergic reaction? Will it go away? I'm struggling as single mom of two don't have time or money for Doctor if not NEEDED!
Can decrease by keeping legs elevated.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The swelling of the legs can happen after taking misoprostol but is not likely after 8 days of taking it. This is less likely to be an allergic reaction. Dryness of throat and bad cramps are normal effects of these tablets. It can be associated with nausea also. It is best to restrict your salt intake and keep the legs elevated on two pillows while resting. This should help in decreasing the swelling in next few days. In case the swelling increases or is associated with redness and pain in the legs then a color doppler is needed to rule out a deep vein thrombosis.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
