@heria, @ray666 Yes, this has been my reaction or side effect as soon as I started taking amlodipine. Stopped taking and swelling went away.

First, my apologies if I've missed any of your posts.

My swelling too has all but disappeared. Although I can't be sure what's been the biggest contributor, I suspect it's one of two, or possibly even a combination of the two. My doctor took me off the Amlodipine (doubling my Losartan just to be safe; so far my BP has been great). Also, my podiatrist outfitted me for an ankle brace (above my swollen) foot, having diagnosed tendonitis. Both changes happened at about the same time. That's why I'm unable to say which––if not both––contributed to the swelling disappearing.
