How To Cure Bilateral Swelling Of Ankle,foot And Calf?
My daughter is taking remicade for her crowns. She travels and this last trip she noted calf,ankle, foot swelling bilaterally. It has been almost a month and she still has swelling. She went to ER and she is negative for clots and fracture in her feet. Her most recent trip was red rocks and aspen in Colorado. She is on her feet and goes up and down the stairs constantly while she works these events. She has been there several times over the last couple years but has never noticed the swelling like her most recent trip. Blood work was done in ER also and nothing remarkable. Your thoughts?
