Hi, his doctor should be checking for swelling at each visit. I had swelling during induction. I thought Velcade was causing it. They told me to keep my legs elevated and avoid salty foods. I wore light compression hose. Let his doctor know. It could be from heart or kidney issues.

Yes, swelling in the extremities is a common side effect of Revlimid (lenalidomide). If your husband is experiencing this, it is important to report it to his healthcare team to ensure proper management and care.
