I drink apple cider vinegar in a glass of water daily. About a tablespoon of ACV. It stopped the swelling in my feet, ankles, legs and hands by the next morning. It was so painful. Putting my feet up while I slept helped some. Now I don't need to do that. It's uncomfortable. Now, I can stand for longer periods of time. I didn't want the doctors to put me on another pill. So, I go natural when I can.
when my legs swell and hurt im usually in a flare up i drink a lot of water and cut sodium out until its better sodium is a key factor to flare ups im on a 4%sodium intake at ea meal and i eat salt free foods i hope this helps and u get some relief ur in my prayers
I get swelling in my legs, feet and ankles. I use compression socks but I also have a prescription for a diuretic when I need it. I try to get up every half hour to hour and walk around and it helps.
I was diagnosed with Neuropathy, burning, itching, extreme pain and swelling
thought it was MS. On 1200 mg gabapentin
