I have recently developed swollen ankles and legs, they are very painful, does anyone else suffer and what do they take? My Dr is taking about water tablets, but is waiting on latest blood works first, my blood pressure is also quite low, something else I have never had....... I have heard varying report on water tablets, mostly bad.
Your doctor will probably put You on furosemide.Makes You pee. But Your swelling will go down and stay off the salt.
I take furosemide 40mg once a day. It works fine for Me but remember where the bathrooms are. I also had to wear special socks to help get the swelling down. You can get them at a medical store for about $35. I had to wear them for a couple of weeks.
Got so bad I was admitted to hospital and have suffered heart failure. Home, on water tablets but still swollen? 1.5lt fluid restriction andlow salt.
I had this in left ankle furosemide potassium lasix home now I was also swollen all over
I had to take furosemide 40mg because I have congestive heart failure.Then I had to go out and buy a pair of compression socks and wear them until the swelling went down.I also had to go on a low salt diet.This all worked and now I am doing fine.
