Swollen legs and ankles

Some time ago I wrote about the burning sensation in my ankles and feet at night. I thought it may be due to Bisoprolol 10mg. The consultant changed my medication to Dilthiazem but the pain has now spread to my knees and inner thighs. Also my legs and ankles are very swollen ant the skin is very red and shiny. My GP has increased my Furosemide by 20mg but it hasn’t made any difference. I take Tramadol for the pain but that doesn’t help. However, looking on the bright side, I do not get as breathless as I did when on Bisoprolol. Has anyone got this problem with swollen painful legs.

No I feel for you. But I do not have any of those symptoms except that Tramadol made me feel really ill. Could hardly put one foot in front of the other.
