Odema Cure

[kathryncook]

I need a cure for odema (water retention in my legs) please.

[crafty]

goto the doctors.

Wear pumps! (or drainpipe trousers!) Sorry to appear flippant, but couldn't resist it!

[Hermia]

My mum was told to spend some time each day sitting with her feet higher than her waist. She sits watching TV each evening with her feet propped up. It allows the fluid to drain away apparantly.

A diuretic (water tablet) from your GP, and/or elasticated support stockings.

[woofgang]

depends on the reason. Do you have a medical opinion on what the problem is? You really do need one

[Scarlett]

Eliminate all salt from your diet. Salt causes water retention.

A tap on the ankle might help

You must talk to your GP.  There could be lots of reasons for this and only a GP can help.  Don't take any medication or wear any support hose until you have proper medical advice.  However, do try to sit with your feet up as often as possible, as Hermia suggests, as whatever the reason for your swollen legs this may help.

after you have seen the doctor then you could try dandelion leaf tea that is diuretic also it is safe you can get it from any health shop,, mullein

many thanks for your suggestions.  I will make an appointment to see my GP. 

Loved the reply that said a tap on my ankle, it made me laugh outloud!
