call your doctor. he/she needs to know that its causing all the swelling. there is possibly something he/she could do
ask the doctor if you can take a diuretic. you swell because you're retaining water and the diuretic makes you pee more.
Go to your Dr. and get something else or go for a second opinion from a health care professional.
You could try an over the counter Water Pill..........but it would be best to ask your Dr. for an RX.
