Guest guest Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 , I have been using diuretics (Lasix when swelling is severe, Duragesic when it is mild/moderate) for more years than I can remember. They were prescribed by the doc who originally dx'd my pancreatitis. I began to get the swelling in my feet, ankles and legs when I'd been on my feet a lot, or traveling by plane, or just the old time of the month! It would get so bad I could barely walk to the bathroom and back. I had two sets of shoes,. one for my " fat feet " and one set for when they were thin again! I don't believe the diuretics exacerbate pancreatitis, and if your swelling is that bad, the underlying cause may be serious, and you need to take the diuretics. , in Indy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
