Suggest Medication For Swollen And Painful Legs

I have been having problems with my legs swelling - knees through toes - the swelling usually is down in the morning after I have had my feet up all night except for around the ankle bones. the swelling begins again the next morning within 2 - 3 hours everything is enlarged again. By the end of the day it actually hurts to walk when my feet need to bend. Most of my day involves sitting.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have swollen and painful legs . The symptoms you mention in query occur due to many reasons like gout , arthritis , organ failure like kidney , liver or heart , allergic reaction . I would suggest you to consult general practitioner for examination and treatment . Doctor may order blood test , urine test , ECG and check vitals . Doctor may refer you to cardiologist , who may prescribe betablockers , frusamide along with aspirin . Doctor may also refer you to nephrologist for kidney problem . For now lower your salt consumption , and keep your legs elevated while sleeping .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
