Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The swelling in the knees and extremely painful legs that you are having could be due to a blood clot formation. Taking water pills will not help you. You need to stop taking Rigevidon and consult your physician for a color doppler study to rule out any venous thrombosis.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
