What Causes Swelling On The Hands And Legs Along With Lower Backache?

I have CMT (Charcoe Marie Tooth) and have a lot of swelling in my legs, feet & hands. I also have extreme lower back pain that is not muscle related or due to a UTI. I also have lumbar stenosis. My primary care said the reason for my swelling is due to age; I was treated for a slight lumbar fracture within the last 6 months

Hi,

Is it a pitting swelling? Swelling of hand and legs are may be due to your CMT symptoms. So, I suggest you to take up ECG and refer a physician and continue your medications. For pain you can take up tablet Ultracet BD (twice daily after food) for 5 days.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
