Taking Biaxin, Methlypredisone. Have Swelling In Feet And Legs. Side Effects Of Medicine?

I was taking Biaxin and Methlypredisone as of Friday. I noticed swelling yesterday in my feet and legs. Thinking it was coming from the Biaxin I called the Doc and he told me to stop it and come in to see him in the morning. But now that I am reading the side effects of the Methylpredisone I am thinking it may be from that.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
The side effect of steroid is as wide gate opened, so first culprit would be Methylprednisone you just stop it too, If I would be your Doctor then I would definitely ask for renal function test ( Serum creatinine ) meanwhile restrict the salt in your diet you will be in need of certain test like cardiac evaluation discus it with your doctor have nice day.
