What Causes Swelling In Foot And Calf?

hello my name is erin. my grandmother is 85 years old and is experiencing swelling in her left foot and calve. The swelling seems warm to the touch and her skin is very tight. We have told all of her doctors about this and they all are telling her it will pass. Her pcp doesn t want to place her on water pills because they may interfere with her other medication. What do ou think may be causing this?

Hi,

Get morning blood pressure renal profile checked, serum uric acid and E.S.R done and send me the report.

Do not ignore all this.

Till then you can take aceclofenac + serratiopeptidase combination three times a day by prescription of your family doctor.

I hope it helps.

Thanks.

Dr.Singh.
