Guest guest Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Does anyone have any ideas what my wife might do to stop getting swollen ankles? Also, any ideas what might be causing them to swell? She is overweight by 50 to 60 pounds, and I know it could not but help for her to lose that weight, which she is on her way to doing, but we are looking for other causes, and also things she might do to keep them from swelling. A mainstream/majority MD told her it is just " age, " ---she is 51---and prescribed the diuretic drug " Maxide, " which does work to a significant degree. But of course the drug only masks the dis-ease and does nothing to heal the condition. Thanks for any suggestions/opinions Elliot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
