I have had swollen feet, legs and ankles for about 4 weeks now and it doesn t seem to ever go down. I have been to my doctor and he has given me lasix but it doesn t seem to help. At night my legs and feet ache. Can you tell me what might be going on? Thanks
Hello, As you mentioned the lasix being prescribed to you, are you diabetic or having any cardiac pathology like high blood pressure. Usually swelling in the lower limbs - leg, ankle and feet occur due to lack of venous return. Having an understanding of the cardiac pathology and any venous return issues in the lower limbs should let us help understand the cause for it. Also, doing regular exercise in low intensity helps improve the muscle physiology and also the cardiac output where these symptoms can be avoided. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.
