swollen feet went away, came back worse
Hi,
So this may be a stupid concern, but.... I had really swollen everything, including feet, after surgery. The swelling went down on day 6, or maybe 7. Then Last night my feet started swelling again, and tonight they are so swollen I can hardly move my toes and it hurts to walk. Is this abnormal, or not? I did go out for a car ride yesterday, had pizza, and walked in walmart and picked out a book to read-was in there maybe ten minutes. But really, that doesnt seem like it should be considered over-doing it. My husband said that they look worse than right when I got home from surgery. And yes, I have been drinking lots (no brewskys though) and propping my feet. So what the heck? Any advice welcome.

Re: swollen feet went away, came back worse
You need to call your doctor. What you are describing doesn't sound normal but only your doctor can make that determination. Please let us know what the doctor says.

Re: swollen feet went away, came back worse
I agree. I hope you've called. Swelling is a sign of something not working. Let us know!

Re: swollen feet went away, came back worse
Hi all,
Went to doctor, she said no not normal, took some bloodwork and urine, will get back to me. In the meantime gave me a strong diuretic to take to try to get swelling down, which is in my legs too, which I hadnt noticed really because they didnt hurt.
Guess I will have to wait until monday now to find out.

Re: swollen feet went away, came back worse
I hope it isn't too serious. Remember to increase fluids and you might consider adding a fiber supplement to your diet. Diuretics can dry you out, plus can mess with your bowel movements.
Keep us posted Merr!
