Swollen feet and ankles

Hi, @heria Did you have swollen ankles prior to your heart surgery? To me it sounds strange that happened after surgery but it's not an area that I am at all knowledgeable about.

Diuretics did not help at all? I am hoping I can get them prescribed and that they will help. I am really discouraged when I look at the folds in my feet by the end of the day.

My upper legs do not seem to be retaining water but they have been very achy. That can be a side effect of a medication I am taking so I am assuming that is what the cause is.

I developed Edema in both of my feet due to amlodipine. I also have neuropathy now due to the Losartin. It’s just a shame that these cardiac drugs can create such horrible side effects. I have socks with gel pads that you put in the freezer that helps to temporarily relieve the pain from a Edema and neuropathy.
