The problem with calcium channel blockers is that they work by relaxing vascular tone (and are primarily marketed for high blood preessure) is that they will by definition excascerbate edema caused by neurogenic vasodilation.

PLEASE check the PI sheets for edema as a side-effect/complication on any other drugs under consideration, especially if you already have any problems in that area. Txs.
