Good thread. I was trying to race through reading it, since husband is in here trying to drag me off of the computer, so misread Possumtrot's posting about starting pt. I thought, WOW, someone posted that pot actually helps reduce their PN pain... Sorry about that, Possumtrot...

I share the swelling too. I believe that it is called pitting edema. It worries me, because I think I also remember that the fluid accumulation in the lower extremities is hard on the heart, which is trying to pump it back up...
