I recently been diag. with 2 herniated disc and put on heavy pain meds but now i have horribly swollen feet ! is this from the disc or pain meds?

It is possible.: The edema could be from the medication or inactivity. If you are sitting down try to prop your feet up a little higher than your hips and see if the swelling is reduced. If this does not work consult the doctor that gave you the medication.

Difficult to say…: …without knowing the names of the pain meds or the location of the herniated discs. Please resubmit question with this information so we can give an informed response.
