Numbness After Taking Antibiotics For Milk Duct Infection. Have Water Retention In Legs, Swelling. Taking Lasix

All my upper numbness started after a milk duct infection,when i was finished with my antibiotics,about a week later i started going numb in the upper quadrant of the left side of back,as well as slight numbness any where i got an abrasion or bump even,now with no break in between,i have water retention in both lower legs,and my 4 small toes on my left foot are constantly numb,but while i have all this,the swelling gets as bad as the left leg swells double,and the right side swells 3times the normal size.If i lay on my bed with my feet up for too long the water transfers to my back,then i m in pain for a couple hours while feel it disapate back to my feet,this amount of water does NOT want to leave my body,when i m taking 40mg of lasix for 3 days the feet feel great,3 days off,i can t walk.

Hi, welcome to Health care magic forum.
So heavy shifting edema appears to be due to the thiamine defeciency, anemia, kidney failure, or heart failure.
I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment.
I prescribe to my patient with such symptoms hydrochlor thiazide, vitamin B complex,till the diagnosis is confirmed,
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
