I'd like to know that as well.
I have osteoarthritis of the spine, left ribs and left knee plus a herniated cervical disc, degenerative joint disease and a slipped disc in the sacral spine. My feet and my legs swell up to my knees and even up to my groin, frequently. When I take medrol (the dose pack- though 8mg per day helps) all of the fluid goes away, and I can function much better with less pain. When I have been off of it for about a week, the swelling comes back. At times I get cellulitis when they have been swollen too long. I have been given three types and varied doses of diuretics and none of the fluid in my legs goes away, only my mouth and tears seem to dry up.

It would be a good idea to make sure the swelling is not cardiac related; however I forgot to add that I had a complete cardiac work up in June and the edema was not cardiac related.
