Re: A swollen finger/Courage

[Guest guest]

Hello:

My dad's two feet often swell.

The doctor at the nh thinks this may be because he doesn't use them

enough but I doubt that is true. My dad tries to get up as much as

possible since his second surgery even though his physical

capabilities have deteriorated significantly in the past little while

(we suspect actually that his tumour is back...).

I tend to agree that this swollen " stuff " is a manifestation of LBD.

Abby,

My dad's feet swell also. At first I thought it was because he lays across the

bed and his feet

hang, and aren't actually on the mattress. Right now his feet aren't swollen

and he still lays in

the same position. The doctor saw it the last time he was in and couldn't

explain it.

Must be part of the disease.

Gwen:

I think you're absolutely right about why your dad's feet swell. I'm

certain it is LBD related although the doctor at the nh doesn't seem

to know it.

I'm glad to know that not only my dad manifests these symptoms. My

dad's feet seem to be better now too which is good because it's truly

the last thing that poor man needs.

Hope your weekend is good.

my dad has swollen feet and ankles and i dont know the name off the top of my

blondish head right now. but it is from him having good blood flow to his

feet but not good return blood flow back to his heart, so the blood seeps into

the feet and ankles causing swelling, easily treated, keeping feet

elevatedabove heart 15-30 minutes 4 times a day. and massaging legs and feet i

put lotion

on my hands and start from feet and work up legs. towards the heart. this

all has helped.

called something like peripheral ventricular discase????

Swollen feet and ankles can be caused by water retention.
