@rosemary
Any discussion on home remedies. Pain in ankles and feet when I stand or walk. On diuretics, low salt diet and everything else stage 4 cirrhosis ESLD requires. This is progressively becoming worse. Very painful to get to the bathroom in the night. PCP is on vacation for 2 weeks so Im trying to get some relief from people who have been there done that....you guys are GOOD.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Transplants Support Group.

@colleenyoung
Just an update on my pain in the heels....or neck lol
Xrays indicate that I have small stress fractures and bone spurs in both heels. Ugh!! So the edema compounds this and I will be losing some weight and visiting a podiatrist in the near future....
I have been closed out with my insurance with Optum for now since I am to early to list at Mayo. Some decomposition is present but meld is only 7. So I go back to Tampa General for care until which time I am ready to list. At that time I will choose which center I feel suits my needs. Tampa General has told me that I can only be listed with one center. I have to verify that because I am under the impression that I can list with more than one. Anyone out there have info on this??
So... I'm patiently waiting and while I am.... I will continue to support all of you as you proceed towards the receipt of a wonderful new liver.
This group is unbelievably helpful. It is a source of knowledge and support for all of us... thank you.
