How Can Swelling On The Legs Be Treated?
I am so scared of infusions. Remecade. Tried Orencia and had reactions. I am allergic to so many meds, methotrexate, leflounomide, prednisone. My feet and legs are horribly swollen (in wheelchair) have heart murmer. Enbrel can t take. Totally allergic to latex.

Hi,
Heart murmur suggests that you might have some kind of heart disease probably ischemic or dilated cardiomyopathy and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Go to cardiologists. Get an ECG and 2D echo done. Take diuretic like Furosemide for symptomatic relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
