Correlation between peripheral neuropathy and low RBC?

Diagnosed with Idiopathic Neuropathy five years ago, my feet have been swelling since the first of 2023. I mentioned it to my VA nurse practitioner and got silence. Labs were all over the place from low normal to high normal, but nothing was flagged.
Reading on the subject led me to believe that it may be lymphedema. I just started getting really lazy this year and stopped exercising. But, if I walk a mile the swelling is only down for a day, then returns.
You may want to read about lymphedema. You and I need to get some more exercise, maybe.
Good Health and Happy Home!

Good morning, decrepit (@decrepit)

Thanks for calling my attention to lymphedema. I'd not heard of that before. I looked over the symptoms, but no, lymphedema is not the cause of my feet swelling. It's something else. My PCP, to her credit, has considered several possibilities, none of which has proven to be the culprit. Fortunately, other symptoms do not accompany my swollen feet; I pay my feet no mind until the evening when I pull my socks off and think, Mmm? I wonder why … ?

Cheers!
Ray
