Hi, you are using many medicines due to severe back injury, feet swelling, itching, diarrhea.
You are on medication for injury and pain killers usually cause swelling ofg foot, as there is itching as well it may be due to utricaria of foot also which also can cause swelling of foot.
i prescribe to my patients with such symptoms levocitrizine, and diuretic along with your regular medicines. Thank you.
