Suggest Treatment For Swollen Legs While On Lasix-240mg And Morphine Sulfate ER

I started Morphine sulfate ER a month ago. Today I noticed that my legs seem more swollen than usual in spite of tkaiing 240 mgs of lasix a day and using a lymphopress device. Could the increased edema be caused by the mediication? I used to be on oxycodone but this was changed because of constipaption and poor pain control.

Hello,

If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.

We have to rule out possible causes like renal dysfunction.

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