Can Oxycodone, Acetaminophen, Celebrex And Morphine Cause Lymph Edema And Hypertension?
I have lymph edema in both legs from knees down to toes.I am concerned the medication I have been taking for slipped disk in the lower bac is the cause. I recently spent 4 days in the hospital without a determination of cause. I am taking oxycodone acetaminophen 10-325, Celebrex 200 mgs, morphine er 30 mgs. In addition I take hormone replacement. I am 72. Today I saw an cardiologist who prescribed labetalol because my blood pressure was high. Are the drugs I am taking for the slipped disk causing the edema. I have never had high blood pressure before. Is tha also related to the drugs. Thanks for your time.

Hello
According to the history you provide I don't think the painkillers cause your signs and symptoms. They probably are mostly from the heart problems. Just take the labetalol and see how it works.
