I have permanently swollen feet and ankles from tendonosis. Every doctor insists that I have rheumatoid arthritis though all the testing is negative. I elevate my legs often and do strengthening exercises. The weather seems to affect the swelling at times making it worse.

I have swollen feet, ankles and calfs on both legs as a result of a stroke on my left side and inactivity.
I wear zippered compression stockings during waking hours as requested by my doctor.
I can walk with assistance, which I do several times a week.
Walking and sitting with my legs elevated help reduce the swelling, but not as much as an under desk elliptical machine that I use twice daily and recommend highly.
Just dropping in on this when I saw *rheumatoid arthritis* in your post. I was finally diagnosed with RA after other doctors telling me that I DIDN'T have it because all my blood testing was negative. My rheumatologist at Mayo diagnosed me from x-rays and MRI. She said my diagnosis is Seronegative RA, which is REAL. She also said I probably have had it a long time. Thank God for Mayo Clinic. I am very grateful for the care I receive there.

Are you taking any meds for high blood pressure because that is a side effect?
