2 wks into 3m lupron & have had edema side effect since then. dr says water pills will only add more negative side effects and the edema should pass. it doesn't feel like it. is there something i can suggest to her or do for relief? so swollen & sore

Swelling feet: Agree Diuretics are not indicated. Most with edema are eating too much salt (sodium). Discuss with team. I recommend using the app Cronometer to track your sodium intake. Goal is to eat less that 1,500 mg per day. If this is the cause it will be better in 2 weeks usually. Show you results from Cronometer with your team.
