How Can Pain And Swelling In The Legs Be Treated?

Hello, my name is Myriam and I’m a 59 y/o female with a DX of Fybrimialgia for about the past 4 years. I was prescribed different types of Txs to deal with the chronic pain. Now, this is the deal, I’ve been noticing swelling not only on my feet and legs, but also generalized swelling. I have gained weight due to this. What should I do? I’m in 75mg tid.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

As there is generalized swelling and you had been taking a variety of medications, I will suggest you undergo tests as Hb, TLC, DLC, ESR, blood sugar level, Urine complete, B urea, S creatinine, ultrasound abdomen, Blood pressure checking, and chest x-ray PA view.

I know this list is so long, but you cannot ignore your symptoms. After the tests, please come back with the reports.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Varinder Joshi
