Default diuretics for RSD swelling?

My feet have been swelling frightfully over the last couple of months, to the point that last week my neurologist asked me to review the matter with my cardiologist. He saw me last night and said he would put me on a diuretic, but first wanted to do an untrasound of my legs to rule out any blood clots. I had the study done this afternoon - my apologies to all you NHS folks on the turn around times over here - and was unofficially advised by the tech that everything looked good.

So, does anyone have any experience in using diuretics with RSD induced swelling, and if so, how did it go?

P.S. My consumption of Baclofen has remained constant over the last 10 or 11 months.

P.P.S. Tayla, I just found your rather discouraging report from 21 September on Ali's earlier thread.
