Swollen Feet, Again…
It’s been almost 3 weeks since my doctor put me back on steroids. F@#$ my feet are swollen - AGAIN. I guess my body isn’t ready to say goodbye to those little hormone boosting pills.
Last night I was at my first live NBL game - the Mariners vs the Devil Rays. Inning 1 and 2, I’m feeling pretty good. Inning 3 rolls around and my feet are starting to feel tight and heavy. By the end of the 4th inning, I looked down at my feet and sure enough, they were starting to look like bricks. By the time the 5th inning started, I decided to head home to ice my feet.
This next morning they’re still a little puffy. I’m suppost to have labs done this evening and an appointment with my endo tomorrow afternoon.
My weight loss has stalled since lowering my steroids…And my energy has started to tank again.

My feet swell too. It’s terrible in addition to the pain in my feet.
I’ve learned to wear sneakers (with heel cups, for the pain) and lace them well. It’s amazing to take off my sneaks at night and have tiny, boney feet! lol If I try to slip on my regular sandals after wearing sneakers, my whole foot almost slips through the front because they are so stretched out from my Flintstone feet.
HTH!
Ah - it’s so nice to hear that I’m not alone.
I did wear sneakers for the longest time. The last few weeks, I was starting to feel better and thought maybe I could actually wear something with a heel. Oh no - not in the cards just yet.
So for now, I’ll stick to my closet full of ballet flats.
[...] swelling has gone down considerably and I hope to wear something other than flip flops to work next [...]
