Is there any way that we can clear oedema from legs and feet?Cause is unknown as heart, liver, kidneys,?

are clear and doctors are still searching for cause but legs, ankles and feet are very painful.Is there any way that we can clear oedema from legs and feet?Cause is unknown as heart, liver, kidneys,?
If you are taking a diuretic, lay down with your legs elevated after you take it. It will increase blood flow through your kidneys and make it work better. Wearing compression stockings helps also.





Go to a NO sodium diet. It's hard but it helps a lot. That means no bread or milk. Fruit generally does not have sodium.





Limit fluid intake. You will feel thirsty when you really don't need it and have too much fluid in your body. My doctor limited me to 4 cups of fluid per day. Things like jello count as fluid. You put an ice cube in your mouth to help with the thirst.Is there any way that we can clear oedema from legs and feet?Cause is unknown as heart, liver, kidneys,?
Get a diuretic tablet to get rid of the fluid.
diuretic is water removing drug
What about a diuretic?
you can get a diuretic. get lasix from your doctor.


also, keep your feet elevated.
Rest with legs raised above heart level
TRY raising your legs up with your ankles approx 15to20cm above your body. ie. place a couple of pillows under your feet/legs when in bed, or watching tv etc, or you could ask your doctor if water tablets will benefit you? I am going through the same problem so i do simpathise, good luck with it.
