Every evening my lower legs swell and feel really sore. I take hydroxychloroquine and sulfasalazine. I am diabetic but the GP has stopped all diabetic medication as my HbA1c is only 32. Overnight they return to normal!
Anyone else have this problem? All blood tests and recent scans are normal.
Hi Jamie , i think you should check with your gp . My legs became swollen when i was on bp meds , change of med helped.
Putting your feet up during the day might help as well 🤗
Hi
I was putting my feet up indeed have done for years but it’s better when I don’t. I was wondering about the BP meds as my BP is 130/70 so wondered if I still needed them
Definitely get checked by gp to be safe , best wishes 🤗
Hi Jamie
Do you happen to be taking amlodipine for your blood pressure? If so the swollen legs you mention could be a known side effect. In my case I get swollen ankles that itch a lot.
Hope this helps.
Hi
I’m on ramipril another blood pressure medication . If it continues I’ll go to GP to get checked out.
