Suggest Treatment For Macular Degeneration
My mother is being treated for macular degeneration after having cataract surgery. The doctor is going to give her a shot of a steroid in the eye and not one of the usual compounds that are given for macular degeneration. I would like for her to see another retina specialist to confirm that this is the appropriate treatment but she would need a doctor s referral to go elsewhere. The referring doctor would be the same one who performed the cataract surgery and I have an uneasy feeling that there is something amiss with my mother s treatment since they are treating her with steriods.

Well swelling and numbness both feet at age 49 causes can be many. I think you should consult a physician. Hypothyroidism, Antihypertensive medication amlodipine, Cardicac problem, Hypoprotenemia, and many. You need better clinical evaluation and accordingly investigations.
