78 yo female, history of raised BP, cholesterol, spinal stenosis/osteoporosis/pre diabetic. Since 2021 had two lots of spinal injections which didn’t work, problems with trapped nerve in spinal column (December 2023) resulting in ‘dropped’ foot (for which I wear a ‘Footup’ support), broken femur (January 2024), spinal decompression (April 2024) L3,4 and 5, referred back by GP to spinal surgeons for back pain (L1,2), heart attack (February 2025) resulting in stent in R coronary artery, hospital five days with ECGs, angiogram and angioplasty. Swollen feet and legs with L leg feeling very tender to the touch. Discharged with loads of tablets. Have read side effects from drug information but my head is going round in circles! Have appointment with GP on Monday as follow up so maybe he can advise. The swelling generally has been going on since the broken femur but now with the L leg only since discharge from hospital. Any comments welcome!
