Suggest Remedy Swelling Of Ankles In Elderly
Thank you - I am 90 year old woman -- both ankles swell every day -- Dr prescribed a water pill - but it is not working -- I do have small veins -- is this serious? Forget it an answer - this is a scheme from what I just read that you want money --

Hello,
I suggest you to rest, elevate the legs. A consult with your doctor should be the best decision because it is possible to be the side effects of a medication that you take. It is possible to be a heart disease like cardiac failure or a kidney disease.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Blerina Pasho, General & Family Physician
