Suggest Treatment For Severe Swelling On The Feet

my mother has pheriphial neuropathy. She takes Diovan, Cymbalta and Coreg and is experiencing severe swelling of her feet -- to the point that her toes are almost curing under. Is the medicine causing this or is it something else. She lives in a small town and her doctor leaves a lot to be desired.

Hello,
I have studied your case and i think you may be having edema in the leg. It is common is patients who are either Diabetic, high blood pressure or low thyroid level. I would recommend you to visit your family physcian and get your blood pressure and blood sugar check. If there is any thing abnormal related to that then you can get it corrected.
It can also be possible if you stand for long hours and so If your job profile demand so I would recommend you to wear ted stocking. Avoid smoking and Alcohol.
I hope this answer will be helpful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
