I swell horribly. Lasix and other diuretics haven't worked for me. The only thing that helps is to drink a lot of water and exercise. At times tho, my feet hurt so much I can barely walk. My doctors think the swelling is related to my digestive system involvement. I have gastroparesis (my stomach doesn't empty properly) among other things. I also take pain meds which can cause swelling also. Try to watch your sodium intake. Really look at labels. There are huge amounts of sodium in most packaged foods.
