What Causes Swelling Of Knuckles After A Back Spin Surgery?
my wife had recent back spin fusion surgery , recently she has been having pain in the heels of her feet and now her hands are swelling at the knuckles; she recently received a call frm kidney doc. who said her calcium levels are extremly high , and to quit calcium supp. and blood press pills at onehalf till it can be to zero.
His symptoms could be related to calcium and anti-hypertensive drugs adverse effects. If the swelling persists, I recommend taking a diuretic (furosemide) to help reduce the swelling.
