What Cause Foot Swelling After Venefor Infusions For Anaemia?
I have MS and several times a year, i take venefor infusions for anemia (not related to the MS). within a week of the infusion, my left foot always swells enormously and is painful to walk on. my doctors keep saying its not from the venefor, as venofer is just iron. However, I know this swelling occurs each time. Does venofer cause foot swelling?

Hello,
It is not due to Venefor and may be due to something else. Consult a physician and get evaluated to find out the cause of ankle swelling.
