Swollen feet and ankles

I started experiencing severe swelling of my legs. It was traced to a side effect of one of my medications called amlodipine. When we stopped that, switching to another medication, it disappeared. Also, I engaged a local massuese who did lymphatic massage on my legs, to help drain the fluid, and showed me how to do it myself. This combination has really helped me.

I have end stage kidney disease, so keeping track of swelling anywhere is critical.

I've done my own massage to ease pain in lower legs. Also, yoga position for about 20 minutes of legs up against the wall. Seems to help.
