A member asked:
My father has sciatica since along time and it's disabling..yesterday he developed right foot edema with pain..so what's the cause of this edema?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many possibilities: But among them will be any long-term condition that reduces or stops normal movement and use of a body part. He needs a good examination and if possible appropriate PT and dietary advice. See his doctor - and I hope it helps.
