Swollen feet and ankles

I had some swelling in one leg beginning 25 years after my last birth. Since then this leg swells. I’ve asked my doctor about it. Nothing is ever done, treated like it’s in my head. Now I have numbness setting in in my foot going up my lower leg. I continue to have some swelling. I do have occasional severe cramping in that foot and calf that wakes me up. Any suggestions or ideas on what I should do?

Hi,
I am sorry; I just started with edema of my lower legs & feet last summer. They are still swollen now, but not bad. I know heat and humidity affect our bodies. I am afraid of what this summer will bring.

I walk every day, and no medications that would cause it except Prolia.
I go to acupuncture and therapy and use essential oils daily. I am allergic to a lot of drugs and have to use natural treatments. Going to a new doctor who said that is not a side effect. There are side effects from any drug we put in our bodies; otherwise, they would not list side effects on the prescriptions.

I am trying to find proof to bring to a new doctor.
