Anyone experience Edema here?

How do you treat it? Lasix or elevating your feet?
My sister has been developing edema again, from neuropathy 😕 She's Wondering any treatment others might use.

You can always ask Dr. ChatGPT. Or it's colleagues.

Does she follow up with a doctor?

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether She sees a couple specialists and none of them Really help her. She went in for the edema itself over the summer and yes while it wasn't HUGELY swollen in foot, it was still moderate edema and they barely said anything...😕

Neuropathy is not what is causing the Edema. Neuropathy is damage to the nerves but the edema in the legs could be related to cardiac issues or vascular issues.

@Thatsright Ah yes that is another one.....

@Silentpleasure Well not directly but it's the reason why it's occurring at all. It's triggering it really. Her vascular tests came back ok...but that liquid near her foot comes occasionally because the nerves and vessels are dying in her foot, creating a jam of sorts in her foot, where nothing is moving or circulating.😕
