Swollen Legs And Feet, Started After Having Intravenous Steroids. Having MS, In Wheelchair. How To Reduce Swelling?
Yes, my knees along with legs and feet are swollen out of sight. My knees are the ones that concern me most. I have MS and am in a wheelchair but can move around somewhat. But my knees are so big I won't even think of wearing shorts. This all started after I had intravenous steroids. Just looking at my knees is sickening. I have always had smalls legs even though I'm overweight and have been for several years. This swelling of my knees, legs and feet are really getting next to me. Have ask drs. and all they say is fluid. What can I do to get my knees, back down to a reasonable size?
