I have stage 1V BC with liver mets, There is significant swelling in the feet and ankles, abdominal swelling and a little well-managed pain in the liver, which is swollen, with elevated enzyme counts, but functioning well with no blockages. Why are my knees so weak and making it difficult to walk and take the stairs?
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for the query. These are common symptoms in liver failure and generalized swelling is expected. This is caused by hemodynamic changes. General weakness is also expected, but there may be some other cause of knees weakness such as arthritis or neuropathy. You need to check your protein levels and consult internal medicines specialist to find proper treatment with diuretics. Wish you good health. Regards
