Brief Answer:
YOur treatment is okay. Continue as recommended!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have reviewed you information fully. The diagnosis and treatment options are consistent and I expect that you would get better on this plan. However, recovery if not often over night and you might actually need a few days to see significant progress. Stick to treatment and continue as prescribed.

Between, what do you refer to as fluid build-up? Are your legs getting swollen? The best way is to monitor your weight daily and let's see if there are any erratic and drastic changes suggestive of excessive fluid retention. Are you able to carry out any activity at home?

Keep me posted on your progress. I wish you a speedy recovery.
