A member asked:
Is it possible for me to keep the edema in my legs, ankles and feet under control?

Edema: Many things can cause swelling of the extremities; trauma, problems with veins, heart issues, kidney disease to name a few. I would recommend evaluation by your physician. Elevation and compression stockings may be helpful to treat the swollen areas.

Certainly can try: Compression hosiery, elevation, restricting salt intake, diuretics if internist feels are needed...May all be part of a plan...
