Suggest Remedies For Swelling In Leg While Treating Gout
Brief Answer:
Dialysis seems to be the only option.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have read your query. You seem to have chronic kidney disease. Kindly ask a specific question so that I can better help.
In chronic kidney disease the kidneys do not have the capacity to filter the excess water and other substances from the blood. This is leading to build up of substances like creatinine as well as water and leading to swelling of your legs.
The only option seems to be dialysis (which you are currently undergoing). There are two broad modes available - hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. You have to discuss the pros and cons of each and then proceed accordingly.
Regards
