How To Get Rid Of Swollen Feet Caused By Anemia ?
My boyfriend is on his feet all day long. he takes 800 - 1600 mg of ibuprofen a day. Sometimes even more. He also takes tylenol . He says he has anemia . When he gets home from work after taking all those pills above - his feet and ankles are super sore , and his feet are swollen up like baloons and they hurt ALOT he says. Is this anemia, and if so, how do you get rid of it, or treat this?

hi jill
anemia can produce swelling and soreness
there is weakness ,tireness ,pale skin in anemia
do check his hb and s. feritin level
he can start tab iron sulfate.
tell him to eat more spinach ,carrot ,tomato ,eggs ,milk like food rich in iron.
better to consult doctor if he feel very ill

your problem of your boy friend requires evaluation it seems to be some thing more than anemia
ibuprofen he takes is over dose and stop as soon as possible to avoid severe side effects.
go for blood force h.b
blood sugar
lipid profile
after all reports you will get some clue and treatment
ok & bye
