I have been on Xarelto 20 mg.for about a month now and I have noticed my feet, ankles and lower legs swell worse. I do have Lymph edema in lower legs though so I have to consider that as well. I use a Lymph edema pump to keep the swelling down. But my legs have been more sore and painful since I have been on Xarelto. I was on Warfarin for years for blood clot history in my lower left leg. What do you think about the swelling? ## Hello, Delores! How are you doing? I am very sorry about the health issues that you're experiencing. Yes, as reported by the FDA, Xarelto has been known to cause or worsen edema, in some people that take it. Other side effects may possibly include nausea, headache, increased risk of bleeding and easy bruising. Have you informed you doctor? You may need to sw...

I have been on Humira for about a year and a half. It has been very good for me. I noticed right from the beginning that I had a lot of swelling in my body but mostly in my feet and lower legs. About 7-9 lbs in the week of my injection. I decided that I could handle it and it was much better than the Psoriatic Arthritis AND my skin cleared about 95%. I have always had a lot of sinus and ear infections so I have to take antibiotics for a lot longer now when I get one and sometimes I have to stop the injections until it clears up. This past month or 2 I am noticing very easy bruising. Does this make sense or ring true for anyone else? ## Hello, Aka! How are you doing? Yes, all of these symptoms make sense. They are all listed under the possible side effects of Humira, as listed by the FDA...

my right hand is so swollen, all numb and very painful. the left hand is fine. anyone have this problem? I am stopping the lyrica to see what happens. does anyone know how long it will take for the swelling to go away after stopping lyrica? ## Hi roz, Were you diagnosed with carpal tunnel, arthritis, or any sort of nerve entrapment in your right hand? Only asking because what you're describing is usually commonly associated with those types of conditions. Additionally, "swelling of the arms, hands, feet, ankles, or lower legs" is listed as a general side effect of Lyrica. So depending on the underlying cause of this inflammation, it's also likely that Lyrica could be the culprit.

I have been on Lyrica for a long time. For the first few years everything was great, no side effects Before I started, it just for my tiny premie( it quite 4lbs) to lie on my chest. But now sometimes I retain so much fluid that I cannot get my jeans on and my legs are so swollen that my skin burns from stretching so fast. Also, if you press on a place it feels like play dough and leaves a deep imprint that takes a bit to go away. I am taking Lasix, but it is nor helping any more. Any suggestions? I don't want to stop taking in and have to tell my little girl she cannot play and crawl on mommy. ## According to medlineplus: "swelling of the arms, hands, feet, ankles, or lower legs" are all listed as common side effects of Lyrica (Pregabalin).

Good luck to you! ## ......vorder, thank you for your reply...I will look into this ## Edema, which is the name for the swelling y...

Took Zanidip for only 11 days and stopped (under dr advice) due to severe swelling in my feet, ankles and lower legs. So much so that my shoes did not fit and it feels like the whole area is bruised.

They are known to cause edema in some people and, when it does, the medication must be discontinued and they usually have to switch to something else.
