What Causes Swelling In Hands And Legs Below The Knees?

I had rotator cuff surgery on 01/30/14. Since then I have been so exhausted. Everything seems such an effort. Sometimes I can hardly keep my eyes open. I also have swelling in my hands and legs below the knees. I take furosomide but it doesn t help much. At first it did but not any longer. I also have type II diabetes. My neck is hurting all the time. I am 66 years old and also very overweight which I am working on. I have lost 17 pounds since Christmas. Kind of goes up and down but net loss is 17. Some of this has gotten worse since the surgery. Actually, my shoulder is doing quite well and have been going to physical therapy as scheduled and doing what I am required to do. I quit eating bread about two months ago and the body pain that I had from supposedly fibromyalgia ( spelling) is so much better. I stopped taking cymbalta and nabunetone (spelling?) So some things are better and some are now worse. I was checked out thoroughly for heart problems before surgery and I am fine. They did stress test and echo and all was ok. Can you give me some direction as to what might be going on?

Please get kidney function tests like GFR and serum creatinine done, also serum sodium,pottassium and proteins levels..cause may be in -between
Try dytor plus20 instead of frusemide.
It will help reduce oedema of legs.
