Hi,
Sorry to hear about your problems. Ice is, in fact, a form of water. While it self does not cause weight gain but in patients who already have leg swelling and are on water pill, we advise to avoid use of too much water. So for you it can cause the swelling. So, try to avoid too much salt and water (ice).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mahboob Ur Rahman, General & Family Physician
