Last year I was diagnosed with Cellulitis (right leg was swollen, shiny, red and it actually squeaked and I was given strong anti-biotics. It flares every now and then and I am not convinced it ever went away completely. Just hit your site and noticed this condition (EDEMA) and am now not sure if this is what I have/had? Should I go back to the Doctor? Incidentally I have suffered from years from The 'Restless Leg Syndrome.' Last August I had a Morons Neuroma removed from my left foot and am experiencing pain in toes and foot in right foot. I love to walk and I work on my feet, but I suffered from aching feet as a child, especially when I sat on a chair that was too high. After work I have to lay with my legs raised as my legs twitch, ache and are unbearable, and long journeys can be embarrassing. I have taken herbal tablets for years that give me almost instant relief (NEW ERA for aching legs and feet that contain combination P tissue, salts, Calc. fluoride, calc. phosphate, mag. phosphate.

Compression stockings, diuretics and removing salt from my diet have been very helpful in controlling my edema.

My feet ankles legs swollen have heart disease and pulmonary hypertension. When the swelling starts, I take Lasix.

For my edema, medications and diet change has helped some.

None. My sister was diagnosed with gastric cancer 2 years ago. She had surgery and they removed her entire stomach. Now she gets edema really bad. Her legs swell up and she walks likes she on stilts (they are so heavy). They are down when she wakes up in the morning but by the time she gets up 30 minutes there back swollen again. She's taking Lasik and potassium but they don't seem to be helping at all.
