I have abdominal RSD and alot of edema because of having 3 surgeries and many biopsies. I have been taking Prednisone for 5 years to keep the swelling in check but everytime my drs would change medicines i would swell more. Its a very long story. But i just discovered that i probably have RSD a few weeks ago. SO I have 70lbs of swelling. my doctor changed my meds last week and sure enough i have swelled more...20lbs more!BUT I am finally out of pain! He put me on a Fentenyl patch, Methadone and Neurotin ( i was on oxycontin and Percocett) but this swelling is all in my lower body and i am taking Lasix to get it off. Lasix had taken off extra swelling before so i am hopeful. Im sorry i am rambling, i cant think straight tonight!

My question is this: what do you use to treat your edema?
Thank you
Lori
