How Can Painful Edema In The Legs Be Treated?
I have been fighting lung cancer has metastasized into my brain for going on my 4th year. The problem I have is severe edema in my feet and legs. I am grateful to still be here but the pain is becoming unbearable.I see 8 physicians and no one can or is afraid of the gov. to help with pain meds. Is there any other way to help with the pain?

Hi,
I appreciate your health concern. Where is the pain? If it is neuropthic pain we can try nerve block or subdural injections. You can try tablet Tramadol and Paracetamol or Hydrocodone under your doctor guidance. If symptoms not improved please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
