Swollen Feet, Anyone?

A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭
Las Vegas, NV

For the past two months, my feet have been swollen. I've spoken to my oncologist who sent me for a scan in which they found a blood clot. I was put on eliquis, scanned again and the clot was resolved. My feet remain swollen but resolved as long as I put them up. Does anyone else have this problem?

Some time my feet have swollen however I was consuming too much salt, I did have a boodclot a few years back in my left calf leg due to making a long trip with my family and not getting out and walking around, now I never ride more than a hour plus when I'm home I keep feet elevated and no problems. Good luck and have faith things can get better.

thank you so much for your response. I found after speaking with my oncologist, he put me on Lasix. Along with that, I slept with my feet elevated. This helped greatly.

I have swollen ankles. Dr. said from deximethisone. I'm supposed to drink more water. If that doesn't work he will prescribe a diuretic.
I have stage 2 multiple myeloma.

I had swelling during my primary treatment and SCT. Compression socks helped. The swelling mostly left after treatment, but I still have neuropathy issues. During my intense field season last year, my toes went numb and have never recovered. I still get slight swelling on the bottom of my feet (not up to my ankles).
