Thank you MrsD! We will try this today, there's a Walmart that carries it just about 6 miles from us. Excited to have some hope...it's really important not to lose that.

Moderator, thank you for the attachment explanation. I've attached the files just to show how bad the edema has been lately.

Gently rub in. I also put some up the ankle area to help open the circulation to remove that excess fluid retention.
This is what the bottle looks like:


It is $5.98 at WalMart, and near the epsom salts and rubbing alcohol area. If your store does not have it yet, I am sure the pharmacy can order it...as WalMart has it online too.

I do not have RSD per se, but do have peripheral neuropathy, which also causes swelling.
